Students will obtain theoretical and practical knowledge on current modern cryptography and its concrete applications. In particular, the course focuses on post-quantum cryptography, cloud computing, secure data processing, e-voting, cryptocurrencies, and data privacy.
By passing the course, students will be able to develop modern cryptographic systems based on the topics explained in the course.

Students must have a background in cryptography, algebra and programming equivalent to the knowledge provided by compulsory courses ZKR, CPT or AKR of the Bachelor’s program BPC-IBE.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods include lectures and computer laboratories. The course is taking advantage of the e-learning (Moodle) system. Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in article 7 of the BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Evaluation of study results follows the Rules for Studies and Examinations of BUT and the Dean's Regulation complementing the Rules for Studies and Examinations of BUT.
