If you have any questions on hard to understand points or need clarification, please have them ready for this lecture. Some questions might need to be illustrated by computational examples during the answers. If you think it is the case of yours, please send them by email a couple of days before, since computational examples often need to be prepared in advance.

Algorithms for Cryptanalysis
The goal of this course is to familiarise the students with the variety of algorithmic techniques that are used in cryptanalysis and with the mathematical background underlying these techniques.
The course will be arranged around three main directions:
- Presentation of the cryptographic motivation
- Description of relevant algorithmic techniques
- Application of the algorithms in the cryptographic context
The techniques covered in the course will range from fundamental algorithms such as sorting which are essential in many cryptanalyses to advanced factorisation and discrete logarithm algorithms on finite field and elliptic curves, requiring a working knowledge of number theory.
Reading material for the course is available from the Library:
