Exam
Dear all,
1. You can find here the header page of the exam including the instructions and structure of the exam. Make sure to read it before the exam.
2. Here are some exams by Iftach Haitner and Benny Applebaum from previous years. (I think that the only concept there we haven't touched in either class/hw is CCA1 encryption.)
Good luck!

Clarification about HW4 Q1.b
The question wasn't formulated properly in two ways.
1. You're not meant to show that there exists secret-key KPA schemes out of thin air (as you know by now, their existence is equivalent to that of OWFs). Your meant to show that if there are such KPA schemes then there are such that are not CPA secure. Thanks to Yotam for pointing out.
2. You're not meant to do this for bit-encryption schemes (like in item c). Thanks to Nathan for pointing out. In fact, as Nathan pointed out in the forum it is untrue for bit encryption schemes.

HW1: Reference Solutions
Dear all,
Here you can find three reference solutions for HW1.
The first two are by Nathan and Omri.
The third is my solution for questions 1,3, and is supposed to give you some impression of what I consider "concise but yet convincing".
Note: in the Bonus solutions of Omri and Nathan there's a slight inaccuracy (although they definitely got the main point), try to figure out what the issue is.

Running time of A' in question 3
Question 3.b wasn't accurate, running time of $A'$ should also include a factor of $time(f)$ —- the time to compute $f$. No points will be taken off for correspondingly inaccurate time analysis.
