|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 34 | Introduction, Caesar, Vigenère, substitution ciphers, congruences and “modulo arithmetic”. Extended notes from week 34. | T&W 2.1–2.4, 3.3 |
| 2 | 35 | Affine cipher, GCD, Euclidean and extended Euclidean algorithm, congruences, modular exponentiation | T&W 2.2, 3.1–3.5 |
| 3 | 36 | Briefly on Diffie–Hellman, ElGamal. Chinese remaninder thm, Fermat, Euler's φ, RSA (slides) First look at block ciphers | NNT |
| 4 | 37 | More on block ciphers: Feistel, a little on DES, even less on AES. Block cipher modes: ECB, CBC. | NSC, T&W 4.1–2, 4.4–5, 4.7 |
| 5 | 38 | More block cipher modes: OFB, counter. Stream ciphers. MAC, HMAC. Primality testing (Fermat, Miller–Rabin), finding safe primes and generators | NSC, NNT, T&W 4.5, 6.3 |
| 6 | 39 | Square roots mod p, factoring, discrete logarithms (there will probably not be time for all of the above) | T&W 3.9, 3.10 (first page) 6.4, (6.5–7), 7.1–2 |
| 7 | 40 | More on discrete logarithms. Pollard's ρ, Pohlig–Hellman. Bit commitment. The slides have been extended and updated after Friday's lecture. | T&W 7 |
| 8 | 41 | One-time pad, Pedersen commitment (*), secret splitting, threshold schemes, more? | T&W 2.9, 12.1–2. (*) not in T&W – to appear in NNT |
| 9 | 42 | Digitial signatures (slides), hash | T&W 9, 8.1, (8.2, 8.3), 8.4, NSC |
| 10 | 43 | MAC, AES (a whirlwind tour including some of the underlying algebra) (slides) | NSC, T&W 5 |
| 11 | 44 | Telephone coin tossing, number theory recap. Note on Euclid's extended algorithm in practice, Maple demo (pdf/maple) | T&W 13.1 |
| 14 | 47 | Symmetric crypto summary, last year's exam. The slides are a bit rough around the edges. | |
