Catalogue data Abstract This course will introduce the basic primitives of cryptography, using rigorous syntax and game-based security definitions. The course will show how these primitives can be combined to build cryptographic protocols and systems. Objective The goal of the course is to put students' understanding of cryptography on sound foundations, to enable them to start to build well-designed cryptographic systems, and to expose them to some of the pitfalls that arise when doing so. Content Basic symmetric primitives (block ciphers, modes, hash functions); generic composition; AEAD; basic secure channels; basic public key primitives (encryption,signature, DH key exchange); ECC; randomness; applications. Literature Textbook: Boneh and Shoup, “A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography”, Link . Prerequisites / Notice Ideally, students will have taken the D-INFK Bachelors course “Information Security" or an equivalent course at Bachelors level.
