Studying C∗: An Introduction to Multivariate Post-Quantum Cryptography

This talk will provide an introduction to post-quantum cryptography, specifically multivariate cryptography. C∗ was the first massively multivariate cryptosystem presented, but has since been broken. Many modifications have been introduced to regain security. We will review those modifications and discuss areas of interest in the field today.
