Abstract: Cryptology has advanced tremendously since 1976; this chapter provides a brief overview of the
current state-of-the-art in the field. Several major themes predominate in the development. One
such theme is the careful elaboration of the definition of security for a cryptosystem. A second theme
has been the search for provably secure cryptosystems, based on plausible assumptions about the
difficulty of specific number-theoretic problems or on the existence of certain kinds of functions (such
as... (Update)
