Course Description
The goal of this course is to provide students with a foundational understanding of cryptography as used in the real world. Students will learn about private-key encryption, message authentication codes, key-exchange protocols, public-key encryption, and digital signatures, in addition to learning about underlying primitives such as pseudorandom number generators, block ciphers, and hash functions.
Learning Objectives
Learn the foundations of cryptosystems used in the real world. Gain an understanding of various cryptographic primitives, algorithms, attacks, and protocols.
