MATH 4460A (CRN 30931) - Mathematics of Public Key Cryptography

FALL 2019
Tuesday & Thursday
10:50 a.m. - 12:05 p.m.
D633
Instructor:  Andew Fiori

Public key cryptography is the foundation on which our modern digital world is built, with fundamental roles in ensuring our privacy and the security of e-commerce among others. The most widely used public key crypto-systems are based on the computational complexity of certain mathematical problems, many from Number Theory.

This course will discuss mathematical aspects of cryptosystems including RSA, Diffie-Hellman style key agreement schemes, and lattice based systems. The number theoretic applications will include algorithms for primality testing as well as factoring of integers.

The course is intended for both Mathematics and Computer Science students, some programming experience may be useful, but it will not be assumed.
