Abstract

This is the fifth talk in the seminar series “Reading the Crypto Classics” for the summer term 2021. The idea of this seminar is to jointly read classical milestone papers in the area of cryptography, to discuss their impact and understand their relevance for current research areas. The seminar is running as an Oberseminar, but at the same time meant to be a joint reading group seminar of the CROSSING Special Interest Group on Advanced Cryptography with all interested CROSSING members being invited to participate.


This issue will cover the paper

Naor, Reingold: “From Unpredictability to Indistinguishability: A simple Construction of Pseudo-random Functions from MACs” (CRYPTO 1998); available at DOI: 10.1007/BFb0055734
