Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exemption from the eligibility requirement:
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.
Course specific prerequisites
General programming skills (C, Java or Haskell).
Discrete mathematics (modular arithmetic, basic probability theory).
Data structures.
Aim
The course aims to provide an overview of cryptographic concepts, primitives, protocols and applications.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- summarize the main goals of cryptography and illustrate this with a number of examples of how cryptographic services are integrated in current applications, both in software and hardware
- describe goals and design principles for and common structures of secret key primitives such as block and stream ciphers and message authentication codes
- identify, analyse and explain various forms of attacks based on improper usage of primitives, modes or protocols
- explain how basic public key primitives can be defined based on the difficulty of mathematical problems such as the discrete logarithm problem or factoring and analyse variants of these systems
- explain the various roles of hash functions as parts of other cryptographic primitives and protocols and the requirements this places on hash functions
- exemplify when various notions of security, such as information- theoretic, computational, provable and practical security, are applicable and describe the security guarantees provided
- explain basic key management techniques in both secret key and public key cryptography
Content
Basic goals of cryptography (confidentiality, authentication,
non-repudiation). Symmetric key cryptography: block and stream ciphers,
design principles and examples, modes of operation, message
authentication codes. Public key cryptography: asymmetric ciphers,
signatures. Attack models and security notions. Protocols for key
management, authentication and other services.
Organisation
Teaching consists of lectures, problem-solving sessions and feedback on home assignments.
Literature
More information is available on the course homepage.http://www.cse.chalmers.se/edu/course/TDA352/
Examination including compulsory elements
Compulsory home assignments and written exam. Based on the result of the exam you will receive the grades: U, 3, 4 , or 5.
