Course Content

The students are expected to know the theory of Finite Fields. The aim of this course is to teach how to construct algebraic sequences over finite rings for cryptographic purposes. We will generalize certain algebraic sequences over Finite Fields to finite commutative rings and in particular Galois Rings. There has been an increasing interest on this topic in the last decade.
