Purdue Crypto Reading Group
The Purdue Crypto(graphy) Reading Group focuses on exploring various topics in cryptography. We meet regularly to discuss classic results, recent advances, and open problems in the field. The goal is to foster a collaborative learning environment where participants can deepen their understanding of cryptography, exchange ideas, and stay up-to-date on cutting-edge research.
Meeting Time (Fall 2025)
We meet every Wednesday 3-4 PM at DSAI 1004.
