Course Content
This course covers fundamental and advanced topics in public-key cryptography, including anonymous key exchange, RSA and Diffie-Hellman protocols, and semantic security for encryption schemes. Students study CCA-secure encryption, padding attacks, and various digital signature schemes, including hash-based and forward-secure signatures. The course explores elliptic curve cryptography, pairing-based cryptography, and public key infrastructure. It also addresses classical attacks on discrete logarithm and factoring problems, quantum threats, and introduces lattice-based post-quantum cryptography. Practical implementations and security analysis are emphasized throughout.
