| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | The first session introduces the subject, describing the objectives, schedule, and how the course will be assessed. |
| Forums of discussion | The students can share their questions with the teacher and their mates in the Forum. The teacher or any student can reply the questions. The collaboration between them is part of the learning process. |
| Assignments | The students have to perform two practical works. The first practical work comprises the following units: theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures. The second practical work comprises the following units: secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography, advanced cryptographic protocols. The practical works are individual. |
| Material reading and studying | According to the course schedule, students have to prepare the units of the course. The course schedule defines when the units begin and end, i.e. students have the assignment to study the unit during this period. If students have some question about the units, they can send them to the teacher (e-mail or Forum) or to their mates (Forum). |
| Personal tuition | The students can send questions about the subject to the teacher by email. |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
| Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs): The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions through email, or Moodle (they can send a private message to the teacher). Assigments: The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions email, or Moodle (they can send a private message to the teacher). Forms of discussion: The students can share their questions with the teacher and their mates in the Forum. The teacher or any student can reply the questions. The good contributions in the Forum will be considered in the final evaluation. Personal tuition: The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher through email. |

|
The students have to perform two practical works. The first practical work comprises the following units: theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures. The second practical work comprises the following units: secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography. The practical works are individual. Both practical works have the same weight, i.e. a 40% each of them. Passing both practical works is required to pass the course, i.e. the students have to obtain at least 5 in each of the practical works to pass the subject. |
80 | |||||
| Objective short-answer tests |
|
The students have to conduct a written test of the unit: "advanced cryptographic primitives". Passing this test is required to pass the course. |
10 | |||||
| Oral tests |
|
The students have to conduct an oral test of the subject (all units). The test is conducted via Skype or other appropriate technology. Passing the test is required to pass the course. |

Students who do not pass the subject in the continuous assessment have to carry out an ICT practical and an oral test. The practical work consist of three parts, corresponding to the three parts of the course: -theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures -secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography. -advanced cryptographic primitives 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 sum of the three parts must be greater than 15 points. The practice must have a minimum of five to pass the course. Otherwise, the students can no pass the course. Moreover, students have to conduct an oral test of the subject (all units). The test is conducted via Skype or other appropriate technology. Passing the test is required to pass the course. |
