Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2013-14

  • Adquirir conocimientos sobre los fundamentos matemáticos que sustentan la criptografía y en particular aquellos requeridos en los contenidos de la asignatura.
  • Disponer de una visión general de los conceptos y métodos de la criptografía clásica.
  • Manejar las técnicas de la criptografía de clave secreta y conozcan las ventajas e inconvenientes que presenta.
  • Conocer los principales tests de primalidad y algoritmos de factorización, así como el problema del logaritmo discreto y sus posibles ataques.
  • Manejar las técnicas de clave pública y entender que son una buena solución al problema de inseguridad que supone la distribución de la clave secreta a través de un canal inseguro como es el caso de Internet.
  • Conocer algunas de las aplicaciones de la criptografía de clave pública: intercambio de claves, firma digital, compartición de secretos, etc.
  • Utiliar alguna aplicación informática para simular el cifrado y descifrado de información, así como la firma digital, mediante los distintos protocolos criptográficos utilizados.
  • Desarrollar la competencia y habilidad para adaptar los métodos estudiados a situaciones y casos concretos, modelizando e implementando las herramientas adecuadas.
