This course is an Introduction to Cryptography. It will try and give an overview of important topics in the area of Cryptography, looking both at the mathematical basis and the computing aspects of the topic. It will be taught in English and in German by Prof. Dr. Debora Weber-Wulff, (who will be doing the computing part) and Dr. Hermann Thiel (who will be handling the mathematics).

Cryptography is an extremely broad field, so we will have to be selecting specific topics to be looking at in this course. We want you to understand how cryptography and cryptoanalysis work and give you some experience in using cryptographic systems.
