CSE 130: Introduction to Cryptography
Units: 4
Introduces the basic theory and practice of cryptographic techniques used in computer security by exploring the inner workings, mathematical assumptions and foundations of cryptographic primitives and how to use them correctly. Topics include pseudorandom functions, one-way functions, cryptographic hashing, encryption (symmetric and public-key), message integrity, message authentication codes, digital signatures, key management, security protocols and more. Covers the necessary mathematical background, formal definitions of security and proofs of security based on precise definitions and assumptions.
