ABOUT THE COURSE:
This course introduces fundamental and advanced concepts in modern cryptography through an intuitive and application-oriented approach. It begins with classical cryptography, covering block ciphers, stream ciphers, and public-key systems and progresses to modern topics like digital signatures, hash functions, elliptic curve cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography. Advanced areas such as zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption, Functional encryption, and secure multiparty computation are also discussed. Designed for learners from diverse academic backgrounds, the course emphasizes real-world applications in secure communications, blockchain, and digital payments, with minimal mathematical prerequisites. By the end, students will understand key cryptographic primitives, their security goals, and the evolving landscape of cyber threats. The course equips learners to critically analyze and apply cryptographic tools in practical systems, serving as a solid foundation for further study or careers in cybersecurity, software engineering, or digital forensics.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Computer Science
PREREQUISITES: Higher Secondary Mathematics knowledge
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Stratign FZE, Dubai (UAE), SAG, DRDO, ISRO, WESEE, NTRO
