Understanding & Programming Cryptography
When:
Saturday, April 12, 2003 - 9:00am
Location:
MIT Room 34-101
Lecturer(s):
Simson Garfinkel Cryptography is a fundamental component of any secure system, but it is often not well understood. You have probably heard about encryption --- DES, RSA, DSA, and all that stuff. You know that there's encryption in your web browser and you've heard about Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), but want to know how to build software using it. In this seminar, he will explain the fundamentals of cryptography and show how to add encryption capabilities to your programs.
Seminar in Detail:
- Encryption history and practice
- Encryption algorithms: DES, RSA, RC2, RC4, Blowfish, etc.
- Analyzing tradeoffs between algorithms
- Combining encryption algorithms in working cryptosystems
- Cryptographic Tools
- Programming with OpenSSL
- Sample programs and exercises will be distributed in the workshop session.
(Option - bring laptop with 802.11 wireless or Ethernet connectivity or CDROM drive)
Pricing:
Advanced Registration Price: $80.00 Good until Monday, 04/07/2003
Regular Price: $90.00

MIT is at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, just on the north side of Memorial Drive(on the north shore of the Charles River), in Cambridge, MA.
Map showing the MIT campus. The red building is Bldg. 34; the Kendall T-Station is on Main Street off the right side of the map.
Building 34 is located on Vassar Street about half way between Main Street and Massachusetts Ave. It is a small square building turned 45 degrees to the street so it may look like a diamond, especially with a glass atrium entrance. Building 34 is set back a few yards from the street and the line of other buildings. It is between buildings 36 and 38.
Parking: Vassar Street on the other side of Mass Ave has a parking lot, a garage, and plenty of spaces on the street. MIT West Annex Lot and West Garage
