CRYPTOGRAPHY
(obiettivi)
Knowledge and understandingKnowledge of the mathematical foundations of the modern cryptography. Knowledge of the schemes currently used in industry. Understanding of their (practical and theoretical) properties.Applying knowledge and understandingAt the end of the course the students will have a general understanding of the main cryptographic schemes currently in use.Moreover, they will be able to answer the following questions:
why do we think that the schemes are secure? can we prove that some schemes are secure? do there exist ciphers that can never be broken?Additionally, the students interested in research will learn what are the main research challenges in the area, and will obtain a background for the future studies.
