Focuses on some of the foundational aspects of modern cryptography, namely, private and public key cryptography, digital signatures, pseudorandom generators and functions, message authentication codes, hash functions, and random oracles. Course also connects the formal concepts with some real-world applications, like RA, SSL, and bitcoin, exposing students to general concepts of probability theory, number theory, and rigorous proofs.

Introduction to computing on encrypted data, covering foundational cryptographic primitives such as homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, and searchable encryption, along with their real-world applications in privacy-preserving systems.

Introduction to computer security (including selected topics in network security). Access control. Security in programming languages. Basic cryptography. Security protocols.
