Learning outcomes
LO01. Analyze, purposefully search for and select the necessary information and reference resources and knowledge to solve professional problems, taking into account modern advances in science and technology LO05. Know and apply relevant mathematical concepts, methods of domain, system and object-oriented analysis and mathematical modeling for software development. LO21. Know, analyze, select, and apply information security tools (including cybersecurity) and data integrity in accordance with the applied tasks and software systems under construction. LO25.2. Analyze, evaluate and select tools and computing facilities, technologies, algorithmic and software solutions to solve software engineering problems.
Form of study
Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
To know: basic concepts from mathematical analysis, linear and general algebra, differential equations, theory of complexity and computational complexity. To be able to: develop software in a high-level programming language.
Course content
The goal of the course is to study the fundamental cryptographic algorithms, their characteristics, and vulnerabilities. As a result of studying the discipline, the student should: know: the main cryptographic algorithms with symmetric and asymmetric encryption, their advantages and disadvantages; basic attacks on cryptographic algorithms; the problem of key distribution, cryptographic hash functions, and digital signature schemes; be able to: develop programs using cryptographic algorithms (symmetric and asymmetric).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, independent work, written assignment, defense of laboratory work.
Assessment methods and criteria
Written assignment 1 and 2: 20 points each; laboratory work 1, 2 and 3: 20 points each. Final evaluation (credit): сredit points are defined as the sum of points for all successfully assessed learning outcomes; the minimum threshold for the total assessment of all components is 60% of the maximum possible number of points.
