Course Objectives To provide an introduction to number theory and cryptography for math major students with theoretical aspects as well as practical applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to extend natural arithmetic to finite fields.
  • will be able to explain the principles of cryptography.
  • will be able to compare symmetric and public cryptosystems.
  • will be able to design new systems upon particular a need.
  • will be able to test the power of a cryptosystem.
  • will be able to apply a particular cryptosystem to authentication,sharing,signature,identify weak cryptosystems and avoid using them.
Course Description Cryptography is one of the popular topics with direct applications to daily life. Topics include: congruences, factoring, quadratic residues as preliminaries from number theory and continue with cryptography; simple cryptosystems, publickey cryptosystems, practical applications such as authentication, key exchange and sharing.
