Selected subjects of IT security

In summer 2018 the seminar will deal with quantum computer resistant cryptanalytics. In particular we will discuss selected chapters from "Post-Quantum Cryptography" by Daniel J. Bernstein, Johannes Buchmann and Erik Dahmen (Eds). Contents of the seminar are:

• Abilities of quantum computers
• Quantum algorithms
• Cryptographic hash systems
• Grid-based cryptography
• Multivariate cryptography
• Code-based cryptography
• Cryptoanalysis of quantum computer resistant procedures

Knowledge in the areas of IT security and cryptography is obligatory.
