Hardness assumptions on mathematical problems lie at the heart of modern cryptography; they are often what ensure one cannot break an encryption scheme. This week we will see what hard problems are and how they can offer this underlying security. We have two of examples of…

One Time Pad

This week, we will look at the one time pad. In short, this is an encryption technique that cannot be broken. We saw in the tutorial about hard problems, that we often have to prove security relative to a hard problem we assume is not feasible to break; using a one time pad means we do not need to rely…
