Cryptography Cryptography focuses on the design of cryptosystems or the encryption of information so that it may be securely transmitted.
Cryptanalysis studies the breaking of cryptosystems.
This course will focus on cryptography but with regard to cryptanalysis. An overview of classical systems continued with an in-depth examination of several modern cryptosystems will be presented. Sarah Mocas is an assistant professor of computer science at Portland State University. Her research interests include computational complexity theory, complexity theoretic assumption in cryptography, and formal models for verifying the security of cryptographic protocols.
