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. Smart Cards.

2. Efficient Implementation of RSA.

3. Efficient Exponentiation.

4. (2) Implementation of Prime Fields Operations.

5. (2) Implementation of Binary Fields Operations.

6. Implementation of General Fields Operations.

7. (2) Elliptic Curve Cryptography.

8. Brute-Force Attacks

9. Time-Memory Trade-Off Attacks.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Implementation of a chosen cipher in a FPGA or a microcontroller.

2. RSA.

3. Digital signature.

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.
