COMS E6261: Advanced Cryptography
Administrative Notes: This course can be used as an elective for the PhD program in computer science and for undergraduate CS majors, and as a secondary elective for MS students in the "Foundations of Computer Science" or the "Computer Security" pathways. COMS-W4261 Introduction to Cryptography, or two 4000-level theory courses, or instructor approval. The most important prerequisite is mathematical maturity, and comfort with (preferably also strong affection for) rigorous definitions and proofs. This class will explore the emerging interface between cryptography and AI. Our main focus will be on cryptographic approaches to AI, asking how we can build on the last four decades of development of modern cryptography towards understanding, formulating, and achieving privacy, trust, and safety goals for AI algorithms, as their interaction with everyday public discourse continues to grow. This includes exploring cryptographic techniques that can be used either to develop privacy-preserving a
