The aim of this course is to give the fundamental concepts of cryptanalysis. The student is expected to acquire the knowledge of how to design and analyze block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions.
At the end of the course the student is expected to
- Evaluate security of ciphers and hash functions by applying differential and linear cryptanalysis and their variants
- Estimate success probability, data complexity, time complexity and memory complexity of attacks
