Cryptography

This course prepares students to describe the principles of classical and modern cryptography for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of information, apply symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms and hash functions in software development, and demonstrate attacks on and protection of cryptographic implementations. Study materials: Algorithmic Foundations (AL), Mathematical and Statistical Foundations (MSF), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Security (SEC).
