It is recommended to register this course after a fundamental cryptography course (IA174 or another full-semester cryptography course), and for Master students a parallel registration of this course with such a basic cryptography course will be allowed. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 37 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- To teach the students 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 their security and efficiency. - Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students will 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 their security and efficiency. - Syllabus
