Course Description
The course is optional designed for Engineering Master of Computer Science in TIEI. The course is an important application of mathematics in information security, combining theory and application. According to the basic security attributes of information security (confidentiality, authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, availability), the course introduces the basic concepts, development history, design principles and application scenarios of various cryptographic primitives (non-key cryptosystem, symmetric cryptography and asymmetric cryptography), as well as simple cryptographic protocols. The course helps students master the basic knowledge of design and analysis techniques in modern cryptography, foster their ability to apply cryptography knowledge so that they could accurately infer risks in the reality and design an effective defense system.
