Abstract | Fundamentals and applications of cryptography. Cryptography as a mathematical discipline: reductions, constructive cryptography paradigm, security proofs. The discussed primitives include cryptographic functions, pseudo-randomness, symmetric encryption and authentication, public-key encryption, key agreement, and digital signature schemes. Selected cryptanalytic techniques. | |||||
Objective | The goals are: (1) understand the basic theoretical concepts and scientific thinking in cryptography; (2) understand and apply some core cryptographic techniques and security proof methods; (3) be prepared and motivated to access the scientific literature and attend specialized courses in cryptography. | |||||
Content | See course description. | |||||
Lecture notes | yes. | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Familiarity with the basic cryptographic concepts as treated for example in the course "Information Security" is required but can in principle also be acquired in parallel to attending the course. |
