In­tro­duc­ti­on to Cryp­to­gra­phy

News

  • [2018-08-14] the second exam will be on September 28th at 9:00-10:30 in P5 2.01
  • [2018-06-24] Several announcements:
    1. From now on, the lecture will start at 11:00 sharp (instead of 11:15) to improve the lunch situation.
    2. We have set up a writable directory /lecture/essays within jupyter. Students who are willing to share their essay with all other ItC students can upload them there.
    3. We will reserve some time for essay presentations in the last lecture on July 19th. This will be the last chance for giving a presentation. You must have submitted the essay before giving the presentation. This means that the topics we publish on July 5 are the very last topics that you can possibly present (note that with the July 5 topics, mathematically you will only have roughly one week between being assigned the topic and essay submission / the talk).
    4. If you don't care about presentations, the last essay topics will be published on July 19th (after the last lecture). Remember that you must have submitted and passed at least one essay in order to participate in the exam.
    5. We will offer an extra tutorial on August 1st at 9:15 in F1.110. In this tutorial, we will answer your questions. If you want us to discuss a specific homework task, please tell us beforehand via email a week before the tutorial so that we can prepare. We will only discuss exercises that were requested via email.
    6. For 4 ECTS students, the material up to (and including) ElGamal is relevant. This includes homework ex9 and the tutorials on June 25th/26th. The content of lectures/tutorials after June 26th and homework after ex9 will not be part of the 4 ECTS exam.
    7. There will be no tutorial on July 20th (and of course neither on July 23rd/24th).
  • [2018-05-26] there is no lecture on May 31st because it's a holiday. The tutorials on June 1st, 4th, and 5th will also not take place.
  • [2018-05-26] essay presentations are now limited to 10 minutes for all future talks (used to be 15 minutes) to ensure that we have enough time for the tutorial.
  • Because of Whit Monday, there will be no tutorial on May 21st. Affected students should visit the tutorial on Friday May 18th or Tuesday May 22nd.
  • [2018-05-04] there is no lecture on May 10th because it's a holiday. The tutorials on May 11th, 14th, and 15th will also not take place. There will be no homework due on Friday the 18th.
    Because of the AStA Sommerfestival, on May 17th the lecture will be in A6. It ends early at 13:00. Tutorials will take place as usual.
  • [2018-04-19] we have published the essay distribution website. You got a personal password for it via email. If you haven't received a password, please contact Jan Bobolz.

Ho­me­work

On Thursdays, we will post homework exercise sheets about Thursday's lecture on jupyter. You will have 8 days to solve each of them, i.e. they must be submitted on or before Friday the week after release.

You can hand in solutions in groups of up to three people. To create a group account for jupyter, fill out this form.
As a result, you'll get an initial password (write it down!) and we will create an account for you (usually) within a day.
