Università Roma Tre

For introduction to cryptography: give an introduction to cryptography useful for understanding present-day innovations; explain the mathematical notions instrumental in the design of cryptographic algorithms and interest the students in the applications. The course aims to provide the tools for analyzing the security in telecommunication systems. The theoretical foundations, real implementation, systems for measuring the effectiveness of existing networks, security models are introduced during the course.

The problem of security in networked systems is introduced in, with reference to the cryptographic algorithms, protocols and standards. The course aims to provide a capacity for rational and systematic framework for ict security issues and tools available, including a preliminary capacity assessment of costs / benefits. Cloud systems security is also analyzed. The course will also touch on the the mathematical concepts needed in undertanding and possibly contructing cryptosystems and protocols, particularly in the realm of public-key cryptography.
