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. Presentaion of cryptographical systems will be accompanied by interesting illustrations and stories from a very rich history of cryptography
