There is no mandatory textbook. Slides and reading materials will be posted throughout the class. However, the following are good references about basic cryptography. (Be aware that different textbooks make very different notational choices to explain the same concepts.)

• R. Pass and a. shelat. A Course in Cryptography (undergraduate level, focusing on theory)
• M. Rosulek. The Joy of Cryptography (undergraduate level, broader scope)
• O. Goldreich. The Foundations of Cryptography (a thorough and formal textbook on foundations.)
• J. Katz and Y. Lindell. Introduction to Modern Cryptography (a textbook, graduate levelmore advanced)
• D. Boneh and V. Shoup A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography (a textbook, graduate level)

A good overview of secure multi-party computation is available in this textbook (available for free!)
