How the Cybertrust Community can Benefit • Methodology/understanding as useful as actual constructions. • Accessible textbooks on modern crypto,eg Katz & Lindell • Consult cryptographers when using crypto primitives, doing protocol design. • Recognize that going from theory to practice is sometimes a long process.
