| Description | |
| Introductory activities | The first session introduces the subject, describing the objectives, schedule, and how the course will be assessed. |
| Lecture | The teacher explains the units of the course. |
| Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | The students have to develop a cryptographic protocol. The practice will be done in groups of two. |
| Presentations / expositions | The students have to prepare a presentation related with the subject contents. The presentation will be done in groups of two. |
| Problem solving, exercises | Problem solving, exercises |
| Personal tuition | Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms: The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions in class, to his office in office hours, through email, or Moodle. Lecture: The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher.

| Presentations / expositions |
|
The students have to perform an oral presentation about an advanced cryptographic primitive. The presentation will be done in groups of two. They must obtain a minimum of five to pass the course. |

| Extended-answer tests |
|
There are two written test. The first test comprises the following units: theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures. The second test comprises the following units: secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography. Both written tests have the same weight, i.e. a 30% each of them. Passing both tests is required to pass the course. |

| 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. |
