This lecture covers trapdoor one-way functions in cryptography, starting with the first one found by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman in 1978. It explains ElGamal's trapdoor one-way function and how it enables public-key cryptography. The lecture also delves into the encryption scheme based on this function, illustrating how Alice can securely send encrypted text to Bob.
