This course teaches cryptography from a practical perspective and provides hands-on experience in building secure systems. We first introduce foundational cryptographic algorithms including secret-key and public-key encryption schemes, message authentication codes, digital signatures, and hash functions, from which you will build secure communication and authentication systems. More advanced topics that are covered include zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, fully homomorphic encryption,
Lectures take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 - 10:20 AM , in CIT 368 and on Zoom .
Gearups will be held on Zoom; please see the course calendar for links.
