How Public Key Cryptography Really Works, Using Only Simple Math
SNARGs Book Study Group
Alessandro Chiesa, co-author of "Building Cryptographic Proofs from Hash Functions" (aka the SNARGs Book), explained how the book was constructed, and clarified that the pre-requisites to study it are only undergrad class math!
