Dear Students,

Some of you have complained that you have already registered on the LSF for the final exam, yet it appears on your CMS personal status page that you are not registered. This problem is due to registration mismanagement in the LSF. Thus, if you have registered on the LSF, and the CMS says you are not registered, you can safely ignore the registration status on the CMS.

Yours Sincerely,

Your Cryptography Team

You cannot take the exam if you miss this deadline without registering. If you cannot access the LSF (e.g., for being an Erasmus student), you must register on the CMS using the dedicated button on your Personal Status page.

Dear Students,

The second midterm will take place on Monday, July 3rd at 10:15 in E2 2, Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal. Please be in the lecture hall by 10:00.

To clarify the topics of the second midterm:

For the part of the lecture by Antoine Joux, the focus will be on the topics covered after the first midterm exam, i.e. starting from Lecture 8 to Lecture 11. As in the previous midterm, only the content of the lectures will be relevant.

For the part of the lecture by Julian Loss, i.e. starting at Lecture 12, everything covered in the lectures INCLUDING the corresponding exercise sheets and tutorial sheets (in particular exercise sheets 6 and 7 and tutorial sheets 6 and 7) will be relevant.

Like last time, the midterm will be open book and you are allowed to use a calculator.

 

As indicated in the CMS timetable, there will be no tutorials on July 4th and July 5th.

Dear Students,

The results of the first midterm exam are online. A sample solution is available on the CMS.

There will be no exercise sheets for this week, which means that we will have no tutorials next week.

You will have the chance to inspect your graded midterm exam in the tutorials in 2 weeks.
