Purpose
To get a basic understanding of some of the main cryptographic systems that are in use today.
A cryptographic system is that part of an information system that provides
cryptographic security services. Usually it consists of a collection of protocols
and mechanisms such as encryption, key agreement, authentication, key management,
to achieve security goals such as message protection, transaction security, or
access control.
Topics
- PKI, certificates.
- SSL, plus SSL-based systems like online banking.
- Key life cycle management, escrow, key and message recovery.
- Kerberos, IPSec.
- Identity-based Cryptosystems.
- Electronic payment systems.
Exam
You have to write two papers, one in mid-term and one in the exam period.
You will be asked to study some literature or a standard document, and
report on that in written form. The first one will be on PKI, the second
one on one of the other topics. In both cases there will be a list of
topics from which you can choose.
The first paper has weight 1/3, the second one has weignt 2/3.
