General description and relevant information Learn the foundations of data encryption and become familiar with the main shared-key and public-key cryptosystems. Acquire a broad view on the various applications of cryptology and study the protocols used in each application. Acquire basic notions about cryptanalysis and cryptographic software.
In this subject you only have the right to make the exam, because the degree you are studying is going to be extinguished. You have to take a look the timetable of the subject to know the exam's date. If you need an extraordinary exam session, you have to enrol for this, presenting an application to the secretariat of your campus or faculty.

Other comments and second exam session

Students who do not pass the subject in the continuous assessment have to carry out a examination on the second call, and deliver the practice. The exam will consist of three parts, corresponding to the three parts of the course:

First part: advanced cryptographic primitives;

Second part: theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures.

Third part: secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography.

Each part is scored out of 10 points. The students have to obtain at least 4 in each of the parts to pass the examination, and the weighted sum of the three parts must be greater than 5 points (first part 14%, second part 43% and third part 43%).

The practice must have a minimum of five to pass the course. Otherwise, the students can no pass the course.

Students may not bring any electronic devices on the written tests.
