Providing Sound Foundations for Cryptography : On the Work of Shafi Goldwasser and Silvio Micali.

Cryptography is concerned with the construction of schemes that withstand any abuse. A cryptographic scheme is constructed so as to maintain a desired functionality, even under malicious attempts aimed at making it deviate from its prescribed behavior. The design of cryptographic systems must be bas...
