The course covers modern methods of cryptography, which form a basis for secure electronic communication, and methods to decrypt these. The focus is on the mathematical foundations in number theory, algebraic geometry and statistics and how these are used in cryptography. The course is of interest to those who work with security aspects of electronic communication, but also for those who want to see one of the more spectacular modern applications of mathematics.

Please note that self-enrollment on the course page is not the same as course registration in Ladok.
