is familiar with the basic concepts and principles of cryptology
understands some mathematical backgrounds of cryptography
knows how symmetric and asymmetric ciphers function
can explain the workings of some cryptographic applications
Content
• basic concepts and principles of cryptology
• mathematical backgrounds of cryptography
• symmetric and asymmetric ciphers
• some up to date cryptographic applications
Location and time
September – December 2018.
Materials
Understanding Cryptography by C. Paar and J. Pelz (Springer, 2010). Available in the library. Some chapters are available for free online.
Various internet sources, links & descriptions are provided in Itslearning.
Teaching methods
Classroom activities, group work and independent work; project work, task-based (homework).
Exam schedules
Exam dates will be published on ItsLearning
International connections
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.
Students will team up for a project work on some current and relevant aspect of cryptology. The teams will share 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.
