M2 Cysec: Advanced Cryptography

This course aims at presenting the recent advances in privacy-preserving cryptography. More precisely, it covers the topics of advanced cryptographic primitives to protect the privacy of their users.

Lectures: Wednesdays from 2PM to 5PM.

Lecture notes are available here.
