Cryptography

The course introduces the fundamental concepts and the most important applications of modern cryptography. Starting from the study of the classical techniques of cryptography, the course will introduce the most important algorithms for symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, the generation and application of hash and Mac functions, for digital signature, for key exchange and for secret sharing

At the end of the course the students will be able to apply the most important cryptographic techniques for ciphering, authentication, and data integrity.
They will also be able to evaluate the security of a cryptographic system.
