- 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).
