In July 1998, a summer school in cryptology and data security was
organized atthecomputersciencedepartmentofAarhusUniversity,
Denmark.Thistook place as a part of a series of summer schools
organized by the European Edu- tional Forum, an
organizationconsisting of the researchcenters TUCS (Finland),
IPA(Holland)andBRICS(Denmark, Aarhus).Thelocalorganizingcommittee
consisted of Jan Camenisch, Janne Christensen, Ivan Damga? ard
(chair), Karen Moller,
andLouisSalvail.ThesummerschoolwassupportedbytheEuropean Union.
Modern cryptology is an extremely fast growing ?eld and is of
fundamental importance in very diverse areas, from theoretical
complexity theory to practical

The aim of this text is to treat selected topics of the subject
of contemporary cryptology, structured in five quite independent
but related themes:
- efficient distributed computation modulo a shared secret
- multiparty computation
- foundations of modern cryptography
- provable security for public key schemes
- efficient and secure public-key cryptosystems.
