| 263-4660-00L | Applied Cryptography   | 8 credits | 3V + 2U + 2P | K. Paterson, F. Günther | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning 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”, http://toc.cryptobook.us/book.pdf. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Students should have taken the D-INFK Bachelor's course “Information Security" (252-0211-00) or an alternative first course covering cryptography at a similar level. / In this course, we will use Moodle for content delivery: https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/course/view.php?id=19644. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
