Oppimateriaalit
Understanding Cryptography by C. Paar and J. Pelz (Springer, 2010). Some chapters of it are available for free.
Various internet sources, links & descriptions are provided in Optima.
Opetusmenetelmät
Teacher-directed classroom activities, group work and independent work; project work, task-based (homework), online activities (quizzes)
Pedagogiset toimintatavat ja kestävä kehitys
The contents of the course give understanding of the basic cryptographic tools and devices which are essential in the operating environment of an ICT engineer, such as all electronic and wireless communications, e-commerce applications etc. Up-to-date cryptography standards are included in the study material.
The students will team up for a project work on some current and relevant aspect of cryptology of their choice. The teams then present their work to the whole group, which gives everyone a broader understanding on the topic.
Task-based assessment supports learning and is continuous throughout the course. Studying in an international group develops students’ ability to intercultural communication and multicultural collaboration.
