Synopsis:

Students gain basic knowledge in selected topics of cryptography and cryptanalysis. The course focuses particularly on efficient implementations of cryptographic primitives in hardware and software (in embedded systems). Students gain a good overview of functionality of (hardware) cryptographic accelerators, smart cards, and resources for securing internal functions of computer systems.

Requirements:

Basic fundamentals of cryptography.

Basic fundamentals of digital design.

Knowledge of VHDL or C.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Embedded Systems with Cryptographic Features, SmartCards.

2. Attacks on Cryptographic Systems I: Differential Power Analysis.

3. Introduction to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

4. ECC, Arithmetics over GF(p), Montgomery Domain.

5. ECC, Arithmetics over GF(2^m) with Polynomial Basis Representation.

6. ECC, Arithmetics over GF(2^m) with Normal Basis Representation.

7. (Pseudo)Random Number Generators in Embedded Systems.

8. Efficient Exponentiation.

9.Efficient Implementation of RSA, Efficient Multiplication.

10. Attacks on Cryptographic Systems II: Time-Memory Trade-Off (TMTO) Tables Attacks.

11. Attacks on Cryptographic Systems III: Guess-and-Determine Attack.

12. Attacks on Cryptographic Systems iV: Side-Channel and Fault-Injection Attacks.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Implementation of a symmetric cipher in an FPGA or a microcontroller.

2. Differential Power Analysis

3. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Point addition over elliptic curve; its implementation in the FPGA or the microcontroller.

4. Diffie-Hellman key exchange over elliptic curve (ECDH); its implementation in the FPGA or the microcontroller.

5. RSA.

Study Objective:

Students will gain basic knowledge in selected chapters of cryptography and cryptanalysis. Emphasis is placed on the effective implementation of cryptographic primitives in hardware and software (embedded systems), which students will verify on specific laboratory tasks.

Students will gain knowledge about the function of (hardware) accelerators of cryptographic operations, smart cards and means for securing the internal functions of the computer.

In addition, the course deals with some selected attacks on cryptographic systems, thanks to which students will gain knowledge about some potential risks of cryptographic systems and will be better able to face them.
