This course will provide an introduction to all of the most fundamental principles, methods, and definitions in the field of cryptography, in addition to a review of some of the most important applications. Topics are:

• classical cryptographic systems,
• pseudo-random functions (PRF)/permutations (PRP),
• block ciphers, DES, AES,
• symmetric encryption,
• message authentication codes (MACs),
• authenticated encryption,
• hash functions,
