On the Role of Definitions in and Beyond Cryptography
Colloquium| Speaker: | Phillip Rogaway, UC Davis |
| Location: | 693 Kerr |
| Start time: | Thu, May 5 2005, 4:10PM |
More than new algorithms, proofs, or technologies, it is the emergence of _definitions_ that has changed the landscape of cryptography. We describe how definitions work in modern cryptography, giving a number of examples, and we provide observations, opinions, and suggestions about the art and science of crafting them.
