DESCRIPTION:Public-key cryptography is vital to the security of computer s
 ystems we use every day. How does it work? How can we use it to ensure our
  personal security - integrity\, confidentiality and privacy? In this lect
 ure I will give an overview of how it works and what we can and do use it 
 for. You should learn what technologies are available to you\, what they m
 ight achieve and why they work. We will cover concepts including trapdoor 
 functions\, identity\, trust and perfect forward secrecy. We will cover ap
 plications including GPG/PGP\, DNSSEC\, monkeysphere and OTR.\n\nCourse ma
