Présentation
Prerequisite
In order to take this class, the student must be familiar with basic notions pertaining to algorithms (implementation in a procedural programming language, complexity analysis), as well as with the manipulations related to the binary representation of data and some basic mathematical concepts (vector algebra, modular arithmetic, probability theory).
Goal
Skills expected: 31 (311/312/313), 51 (511/512), 63 (634), 101 (1011), 110 (1101/1102), 1110 (11104)
This class is about the fondamental concepts of modern cryptography. These notions are used in numerous applications such as the securization of internet communication, secure payment, electronic currencies, document signing, ...
Its orientation is suitable to all the engineer profiles of the domains: software development, big data, cybersecurity, connected objects, business engineer, ...
At the end of the class, the student will be able to:
• Understand and be familiarized with the different cryptographic primitives encountered in secure digital communication protocols;
• Appreciated the (believed) hardness of computational problems on which the security of those rely;
• Use and apply in a concrete way cryptographic algorithms using standard software libraries;
• Understand how cryptographic primitives can be assembled to form modern cryptographic protocols and the properties those have according to the chosen parameters;
• Present a sound opinion on the society issues related to the uses of cryptography.
