Cryptography and System Security Basic Information MI003 (2+2+0) - 5 ECTS credits The aim of this course is to introduce students to fundamental concepts and methods of classical and modern cryptography. Students will be introduced to the basic ideas of encryption and decryption of the data, with particular emphasis on applications of the number theory in modern cryptography. Properties of cryptosystems will be studied, methods of protecting operating systems will be introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages will be determined. Students will learn the main decryption methods for particular type attacks on well-known cryptosystems. Variety of encryption and decryption procedures will be introduced, students will make the corresponding programs and test methods on different examples.
