Syllabus
  • Coding theory and modern cryptography are rich on deep, elegant, interesting and practically very important ideas, methods, and systems. Main concepts of modern cryptography are closely connected with fundamental concepts of theoretical informatics. Current cryptohraphy and its methods and systems are of key importance for modern communication and information systems. Basic knowledge of coding methods and of modern cryptography are necessary for each graduate of informatics.
  • Lecture will be rich also on examples and experiences from a very rich and interesting history of cryptography.
  • Basic concepts of coding theory
  • Linear codes
  • Cyclic codes
  • Classical cryptography
  • Public-key cryptosystems
  • RSA cryptosystems and digital signatures
  • Integer factorization and prime recognition
  • Other cryptosystems
  • Basic cryptographic protocols
  • Zero-knowledge protocols
  • Steganography
  • From crypto-theory ro crypto-practice
  • Quantum key distribution
  • Quantum cryptographic protocols
