CSC 5155G - Cryptography

Credits: 4

This course is an introduction to modern cryptography. Topics will include a rigorous treatment of fundamental primitives including: theoretical and applied aspects of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography with associated security models, message authentication codes, stream ciphers, cryptographic hashing, digital signatures, and various advanced primitives. Underlying security proof techniques will be introduced as needed. Necessary mathematics will be introduced as needed, though a strong background in mathematics is recommended.
