Location: AUDITORIUM 15

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.

• Multi-Party Computation.
• PKI, Certificates.
• Real-Life Security.
• SSL, TLS; Tor network.

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 weight 2/3.

All papers must be submitted encrypted and signed by email.

• First assignment.
  

  Deadlines:
  Choice of topic:	before May 21st, 23:59.
  Assignment of topic:	May 22nd.
  Submission of paper:	before June 8th, 23:59.

• Second assignment.
  

  Deadlines:
  Choice of topic:	before June 18th, 23:59.
  Assignment of topic:	June 19th.
  Submission of paper:	before July 12th, 23:59.
