Abstract
As set out in Section 12.1, cryptography enables cooperation in the presence of threats, based on limited trust between the participants involved, acting in a distributed computing system. In many cases, the participants follow a cryptographic protocol, executing several rounds of local computations and message transmissions. Such protocols are often composed of appropriate instantiations of more elementary cryptographic mechanisms, such as the basic blocks surveyed in Section 12.4 and treated more extensively in the preceding chapters. Moreover, even a particular “basic block” might be seen or might even have been designed as a protocol.
