DIMACS Tutorial on Computer Security August 4 - 7, 2003 DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University
Organizer: Rebecca Wright Stevens Institute of Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Presented under the auspices of the Special Focus on Communication Security and Information Privacy. *********************************************************** This tutorial is a crash course on cryptography and its applications to secure networking and electronic commerce. It is designed to provide background knowledge to researchers and graduate students who wish to participate in the Special Focus on Communication Security and Information Privacy, or just to get an introduction to some of the fundamental issues in this field. The tutorial will consist of lectures and hands-on activities. Topics included are not intended to cover all aspects of the special focus, but will concentrate instead on several main themes. These include: cryptographic primitives and protocols: symmetric key cryptography, public key cryptography, authentication, and key exchange protocols key management and access control: public key infrastructures and trust management network security: snooping, spoofing, distributed denial of service attacks, SSL, SSH, IPsec. electronic commerce: electronic payments protocols, auctions In each area, we will introduce the most important and relevant topics. Lectures will include basic mathematics, tools, and techniques, information about the current state of the art, and suggestions for further reading for more advanced topics. *********************************************************** Workshop Program: Primary Lecturer: Amir Herzberg, Bar-Ilan University Additional Lecturers: Markus Jakobsson, RSA Laboratories Angelos Keromytis, Columbia University Hugo Krawczyk, Technion Rebecca Wright, Stevens Institute of Technology This is a preliminary program.
