Aims
The goal is to make students familiar with the basic concepts applied cryptography, including classical cryptography and modern secret key and public key cryptography.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
A written mid-term test, a regular evaluation of projects. The test does not have correction option, the final exam has two possible correction terms.
