2023-2024 FALL

Instructor: Prof.Dr. Mehmet E. DALKILIC

Teaching Assistant: Zehra Nur OZBAY zehra.nur.ozbay@ege.edu.tr (Subject to change)

Textbook:

Paar and Pelzl, Understanding Cryptography, Springer, 2010

Reference books:

1. Trappe, Cryptography and Coding, 2/e, 2010

2. Stinson, Douglas R., Cryptography: Theory and Practice, CRC Press, 1995
3. Schneier, B., Applied Cryptography, 2/e, Wiley, 1996

Goals: To introduce theory behind shared-key and public-key cryptography, and to introduce some cryptographic protocols/applications.

Prerequisites: Basic mathematical skills, graduate standing (and the perceptive ability implied with)

Topics:

·         Classical Cryptography

·         Simple ciphers including substitution, permutation and Vigenere

·         Perfect secrecy and one-time pad

·         The Data Encryption Standard (DES, 3DES)

·         Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

·         Public-Key Cryptography

·         Mathematical foundations

·         RSA and El-Gamal public-key cryptosystems

·         Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange

·         Elliptic Curve Cryptography

·         Cryptographic Protocols

·         A variety of protocols including Authentication and Digital Signatures,

Bit Commitment and Fair Coin Flips, Zero-knowledge Proofs, etc.

·         Protocol Failures in Cryptosystems

·         Quantum Cryptography (if time permits)

Grading (tentative):

·      Homeworks ( %20),

·         Midterm exam (%25)

·      Project (%20),

·         Final exam (%35)

HOMEWORK POLICY:

I.                   You can discuss homework with other people (especiall with your classmates). However, you must write the answers to the homework questions alone, using your OWN WORDS. Copying and sharing homeworks will be penalized severly.

II.                If you submit your homework on time* you get 20% bonus, if you submit late* you receive 20% penalty, otherwise you get 0 points for that homework.

III.             On time* means you hand in the homework on the due date (or early) to the Professor (that is me) at the start of the class.

IV.             Late* : Late homeworks can be submitted only to the TA (that is Gul) at most within a week after the due date. After a week no late homeworks will be accepted.
