Course aims
To create premise for obtaining a systematic overview about the modern cryptography (theorethically as well as practically) that is needed for every contemporary IT specialist or mathematician for orientating in their field.
Brief description of the course
The course begins from the cryptography history. Next explains the main concepts of cryptography. It gives a basic systematic overview of symmetric cryptosystems including block cipher and stream cipher and move to the asymmetric cryptosystems. It introduces the well known protocols, main concepts of data security and practical applications of cryptotech. Every student must prepare homework, complete 75% of course tasks given during classes, pass test and exam.
Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
Knowledge about the theoretical basis of cryptography. Ability to orientate in basic concepts and algorithms of cryptography. Practical skills in encrypting and decrypting using different algorithms. Knowledge about data security and implementation of cryptography in this field. Knowledge about the practical use of cryptotech.
