Cryptographic protocols are widely used today to provide security in various applications like online banking, remote login and secure e-mail. Cryptographic protocols are rules for exchange of messages between participants, and rely on cryptographic algorithms like encryption and decryption. Experience has shown that even very simple protocols which seem secure, may have subtle flaws, even if the underlying cryptographic algorithms are secure. In this course we look at cryptographic protocols for meeting various security needs, possible attacks against cryptographic protocols, as well as techniques for ensuring their correctness.
