- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to:
understand intermediate-level issues of deploying cryptographic mechanisms;
apply a crypto or security standard to fit the solution sought;
judge pros and cons of crypto methods considered for deployment;
independently design and test simple cryptographic solutions;
evaluate common crypto protocols in terms of security and efficiency. - Syllabus

- Hash functions and their applications.
- Digital signatures, MAC.
- Non-repudiation.
- Cryptographic protocols, entity authentication.
- Public key infrastructure, certification.
- Trust, electronic and/vs. real relations.
- E-commerce security, payment systems.
- Hardware protection of (cryptographic) secrets.
- Patents and standards.
