Instructor: Professor Lih-Yuan Deng
Welcome! This course is designed to strengthen student’s
abilities to understand the key issues in data security and introduce some of
the more advanced and important data encryption/decryption and some key
applications. The class will give students a chance to learn the necessary
mathematical background to understand the theory and practice of cryptography.
At the end of the class students should feel some ownership over some of the
most popular cryptography and data digital signature algorithms, and be able to
understand why some protocols are more suitable than others in some situations
