Random Notes for Me (Please Ignore)

  • Every time I show a new security property in Part 1, I should link it to an attack. This means redoing all the Part 1 slides after a first pass where I integrate the Joy of Cryptography materials. Eg. I describe what uniform sampling is? OK, look what happened with PuTTY when they didn't respect this! See? This stuff matters in the real world!
  • An "escape hatch" into more informal proofs should be readily available in the event of running out of time, etc., but should not be too heavily relied upon.
  • None of the material covers key management. Alfred Menezes may come to the rescue.
  • Must be up-front about exam-required materials. Tell students what's required for each exam first thing. That way, you remove anxiety, and allow them to explore the materials at their leisure.
  • This website is full of useful practical examples, here we have range proofs.
  • Not enough attack labs.
  • Might be fun to cover QUIC, HTTP/3, Passkeys...
  • Session on side-channels?
  • Integrate Verifpal as learning tool
  • Amazing teaching style
  • Excalidraw might be useful.
