 The Selmer Center at the Department of Informatics is organizing a
 Nordic Research Course in "Cryptography and its Applications"
 in Bergen during the period June 10-18.

 Among the prominent teachers at the course is one of the world's
 leading experts in cryptography,

          Professor Ronald L. Rivest, MIT,

 who is leader of the Cryptography and Information Security Group
 at MIT. He is one of the founders of public key cryptography and he
 is perhaps best known as the 'R' in the RSA public key cryptosystem.
 Together with Adi Shamir and Len Adleman he has been awarded the
 IEEE Koji Kobayashi Computers and Communication Award and the
 Secure Computing Achievements Award.

 Rivest will give a guest lecture on public key cryptography
 and its history.

 The lecture is open to anyone interested.
