As you requested, this e-mail serves to notify you that the
Harvard@Home program, "Hyper-Encryption by Virtual Satellite" has been
released.
As part of the Harvard University Science Center Lecture Series,
Michael O. Rabin, the T.J. Watson, Sr. Professor of Computer Science at
Harvard University, lectures on hyper-encryption and provably
everlasting secrets.
In this lecture, Professor Rabin confronts the failure of present-day
computer systems to provide minimal network security. As a solution,
Professor Rabin presents the theory of hyper-encryption and attempts to
prove its security against an adversary possessing unlimited computer
power. This hyper-encryption method provides secure data exchange even
if the adversary mounts an adaptive attack and obtains the secret
decryption key.
This program features over an hour of video content available in
RealPlayer, QuickTime, and WindowsMedia formats.
