| Course Objectives: | This course aims at equipping students with a deeper understanding of cryptography. It starts by introducing the underlying theory of Galois fields, and targets basic topics of significant practical importance as well as advanced topics of theoretical importance. In the first part of the course, a detailed analysis of standard cryptographic algorithms is made and efficient implementation ideas are discussed, focusing on public key schemes such as RSA, ElGamal and Diffie-Hellman, as well as elliptic curve cryptography and homomorphic encryption. In the second part, application of these algorithms to advanced protocols, such as for authentication, identification, key distribution, zero-knowledge and computationally-private information retrieval, is discussed. In the last part of the course, advanced mathematical algorithms, such as brute-force, baby-step giant-step and the Pohlig-Hellman, for attacking some of the covered cryptographic schemes are discussed. |
