Tutor:
Martin Jureček, Olha Jurečková
Supervisor:
Department of Information Security
Synopsis:

Students will get acquainted with the algorithms of secure key generation and cryptographic error (not only biometric) data processing. Furthermore, students will learn the mathematical principles of cryptographic protocols (identification, authentication, and signature schemes). Another part of the course is dedicated to malware detection and the use of machine learning in detection systems. The last topic includes practical steganographic methods and attacks on steganographic systems.

Requirements:

Knowledge of linear algebra (BI-LIN), probability theory (BI-PST) and information security (BI-BEZ).

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Key generation algorithms.

2. Self-correcting codes (basic definition, Reed-Muller codes).

3. Self-correcting codes (cyclic codes, Reed-Solomon, and BCH codes).

4. Cryptographic methods of error data processing (biometric data).

5. Cryptographic protocols: zero-knowledge proofs.

6. Cryptographic protocols: electronic signature and identification schemes.

7. Cryptographic protocols: key management, secret sharing.

8. Malware: basic types of malware and principles of analysis.

9. Malware: machine learning-based detection techniques.

10. Malware: algorithms for clustering into families.

11. Steganography: practical steganographic methods.

12. Steganography: attacks on steganographic systems.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Key generation algorithms.

2. Self-correcting codes

3. Cryptographic protocols

4. Cryptographic protocols

5. Malware

6. Steganography
