Cryptography
Cryptography is the art and science of secure communication. It is the foundation for communication security and digital privacy. Faculty in this area are interested in definitions, protocols, proofs and deployments for cryptographic schemes. They are also interested in the social and political implications of cryptography’s use and nonuse. Cryptographers approach problems in ways that can be mathematical, definitional and philosophical, yet cryptographic schemes can have transformative impacts on privacy and security.
