- Lecturer:
- Róbert Lórencz (gar.), Martin Novotný
- Tutor:
- Jiří Buček, Martin Novotný
- Supervisor:
- Department of Computer Systems
- Synopsis:
-
Students gain a basic knowledge in selected topics of cryptography and cruptanalysis. The module focuses particularly on elliptic curve cryptography, and on contemporary attacks on cryptographic systems. Students gain a good overview of the functionality of (hardware) cryptographic accelerators, random number generators, smart cards, and resources for securing of internal functions of computer systems.
- Requirements:
-
Basic fundamentals of cryptography.
Basic fundamentals of digital design.
Knowledge of VHDL or C.
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Brute-Force Attacks
2. Time-Memory Trade-Off Attacks.
3. Side-channel attacks.
4. Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
5. Efficient Implementation of Binary Field and Prime Filed Operations.
6. (Pseudo)random Number Generators.
7. Smart Cards.
- Syllabus of tutorials:
-
1. Implementation of a chosen cipher in a FPGA or a microcontroller.
2. Implementation of a brute-force attack on the chosen cipher.
3. Side channel attack - key retrieval by means of differential power analysis (DPA)
4. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Point addition over elliptic curve; its implementation in the FPGA or the microcontroller.
5. Diffie-Hellman key exchange over elliptic curve (ECDH); its implementation in the FPGA or the microcontroller.
- Study Objective:
-
The module introduces students into the area of security of computer systems using hardware and provides knowledge needed for analysis and design of computer system security.
