The lecture covers several topics of post-quantum cryptography, which deals with classical algorithms and schemes that are secure against quantum attackers.

The focus of the lecture is lattice cryptography, where cryptographic schemes are built from lattice problems such as Learning with Errors (LWE) or Short Integer Solution (SIS). Some hash-based and code-based cryptography is also covered.

In order to be admitted to the exam, you have to obtain the course achievement. While concrete details are provided via PANDA, this could for example be something like reaching 50% of the points on 70% of all mandatory exercise sheets.

Given this requirement, you may achieve bonus steps on the grade of a passed exam (details via PANDA).

The exam will be an oral block exam. You need to register for the exam via PAUL. In PAUL you can also find further details regarding the registration phases. Please do not forget to register for the study achievement (Studienleistung). Relevant deadlines and phases are usually linked on the study service homepages.

We will offer two slots at the end of the semester, one at the beginning and one at the end of the lecture-free time. Concrete details will be announced via PAUL or PANDA.
