  • 3 credits
  • 15h+15h
  • 1st quarter
Language of instruction: French / Français

Learning outcomes

 

At the end of the cursus, students should be able  

  • to use arithmetics and elliptic functions theory in a correct manner to ciffer any given message or to determine the content to any ciphered message, 
  • to make proofs by mathematical induction,
  • to model system behavior equations by recurrent equations and to solve them. 

 

Content

The lecture's content is divided into four chapters

  • recurrence equations
  • arithmetics 
  • introduction to cryptography
  • elliptic functions

 

 

 


Teaching methods

Academic lectures (15h), accompanied by exercise sessions (15h)

Evaluations

Written exam made of exercices to solve.

Special care will be put on how  students explain their mathematical reasoning and deductions. Clarity and formalism are thus important. 

 

Recommended readings

Many books in this area exist. To cite but only two, there are - R.P. Grimaldi. Discrete and combinatorial mathematics. An applied introduction. Fifth Edition. Pearson Eduction, 2004, or  J. Hoffstein, J. Phiper et J.H. Silverman. An Introduction to Mathematical Cryptography, Springer, 2008.
