This is a partial list of graduate schools which have programs in cryptography and security. It lists professors of note; some of these are not in crypto or security per se, but are doing work I think is interesting.
I'm putting it on the Web in case it might be useful for someone else. I apologize in advance for any omissions; no offense is intended! I would like to keep the list up to date, but people move frequently. Please send corrections and suggestions to me at dmolnar@eecs.berkeley.edu. I'll keep up as best I can. I also make no warranty that any of the people on this list are or are not looking for students; this changes even more frequently.
You may also want to check out the list of U.S. National Security Agency Centers of Academic Excellence.
Ordering is not significant, except I place Berkeley first because I'm attending there, and Harvard second because I went there for undergrad.
