WiSe 15/16: Seminar: Introduction to Cryptography
Valentina Di Proietto
Comments
Cryptography is the study of secret writings; which means of the methods to transmit a message between two people in such a way that it is impossible for a third person to read the message. In this seminar we will give an overview of the mathematical tools used in Cryptography: we will focus on elementary number theory results and we will see how they are applied to quite recent cryptosystems. The only prerequisites you need is the basic of group theory, linear algebra and basic calculus. Only few talks of this seminar require more advanced mathematical tools, like ring theory.
This is the complete program.
