MCS 223
Cryptography
January Term 2004
In this course we will survey classical and modern cryptography,
including substitution ciphers--monoalphabetic, polyalphabetic, and
polygraphic--transposition ciphers, public-key cryptosystems, and
error-correcting codes.
We'll learn the appropriate mathematics and programming tools as we need
them.
The course will follow a seminar format.
Students will make in-class presentations, solve problems,
program cryptanalysis tools, and complete a paper or project.
Linear Algebra (MCS-221) is a recommended prerequisite
[but a student can succeed without it].
