Rudolf Lidl and Harald Niederreiter 'Introduction to Finite Fields and Neal Koblitz 'A course in Number Theory and Cryptography', Johannes Buchmann 'Introduction to Cryptography', Springer, 2004. Some nice books on crypto (but going beyond what we need for this course) are Tanja Lange 'Finite Fields' (Chapter of draft book 'Discrete Mathematics').Tanja Lange 'Number Theory and Algebra' (Ĭhapter of draft book 'Discrete Mathematics').It is not necessary to purchase a book to follow the course. There will also be no lectures on 08 Jan and 11 Jan but on If not you can find someĪll lectures take place Mondays 10:45 - 12:30 in AUD 10Īnd Thursdays 13:45 - 17:30 in Flux 1.03.īreak between Christmas and New year so that there are no lectures You should have participated in '2WF50 - Algebra' or '2WF90 - Algebraįor security' before taking this course. Which might make you feel less secure but that's just a moreĪccurate impression of reality and it a good step to improve your LearningĬrypto makes you more aware of the limitations of security and privacy Some words up front: Crypto is an exciting area of research. This course is offered at TU/e as part of the bachelor's electiveĬlassical systems (Caesar cipher, Vigenère, Playfair, rotor machines), shift register sequences, DES, RC4, RSA, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, cryptanalysis by using statistics, factorization, attacks on WEP (aircrack).
