TL;DRAbstract

In this chapter we briefly discuss the goals of cryptography (Section 1.1). In particular, we discuss the basic problems of secure encryption, digital signatures, and fault-tolerant protocols. These problems lead to the notions of pseudorandom generators and zero-knowledge proofs, which are discussed as well.
