Skills to be acquired in this module | Cryptology is a key technology for the security of worldwide computer nets. Modern cryptographic techniques are used to keep data secret, sign electronic messages, control computer network access, secure electronic financial transactions, protect copyrights, among others. In view of these applications users should be able to assess the efficiency and security of these key technologies. For this purpose, it is important not only to know the function of cryptographic processes, it is also important to understand their mathematical basics. Both is explained in this module.
