This semester, Fall 2003, the student members of our group are going to
take their
Depth Written
Exams (DWE). Therefore this semester's focus of our group meetings
will be in preparation for those. The DWE announcement is in
this Postscript file.
Some other useful online resources for
preparing the exam, and for studying cryptography in general can be found
in the links section of this web site.
