Course overview
This module introduces students to the field of cryptography. The students will learn the foundations of modern symmetric and key cryptography.
Content
Students will implement several simpler algorithms and get familiarized with the more complex implementations in the finished libraries (.NET and Crypto ++ libraries, the openSSL project, etc.).
The learning in this module is project based where students are asked to produce sample applications that use modern cryptography algorithms.
