Research Interests of Douglas Stinson

• Cryptography: authentication codes, pseudorandom number generation, discrete logarithm problem, key distribution and key agreement schemes, traceability, public-key cryptosystems, signature schemes, hash functions, provable security, efficient implementations. Here is a web page on Visual Cryptography.
• Networks and distributed systems: distributed cryptographic protocols, routing algorithms, key distribution in distributed sensor networks, multicast security, broadcast encryption, secret-sharing schemes, quorum systems.
• Algorithms and computational complexity: combinatorial algorithms, randomized algorithms, parallel algorithms.
• Construction of combinatorial structures with applications in computer science and cryptography: error-correcting codes, universal hash families, resilient functions, correlation-immune functions, cover-free families, perfect hash families, extractors and dispersers, bent functions and generalizations.
