Foundations of Cryptography (Lecture Notes from 1989)

Oded Goldreich


This website provides access to the old lecture notes, which are superseeded by my book Foundations of Cryptography.


To complement my fragments of a book on Foundations of Cryptography, I'm making available parts of my Lecture Notes dating to 1989. (The rest of these lecture notes, devoted to one-way function, pseudorandom generation and zero-knowledge, are totally superseded by the fragments mentioned above.)

The following PostScript files are available (Corresponding PDF files can be found HERE.)
