Credits
3 op
Teaching language
- Finnish
Responsible person
- Sirpa Alestalo
Objective
The student knows and understands the basics of combinatorics and number theory and can apply them to their own field. The student knows and understands mathematical principles of the most common cryptology methods. They are able to choose a suitable cryptography for the application and has the readiness to deepen their competence.
Content
Basics of combinatorics and number theory (divisibility, prime numbers, congruence, modular arithmetics), random number generation, classic cryptology methods, symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, elliptic curves.
Qualifications
-
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
Pass (S)
- With the returnable exercises and exam, the student demonstrates their knowledge and understanding of the essential mathematical concepts and calculation rules related to cryptology.
- With the course assignment, the student demonstrates ability to deeper study independently/in a group, some cryptology related topic. The assignment consists of both written and speaking part, both of which are assessed.
- The student demonstrates understanding of the mathematical principles of cryptology methods and knowledge of the purpose and use of cryptology methods.
50 % of the maximum points of all items are required for an accepted course. The items are assessed by the lecturer.

Time and location
Opintojakso toteututetaan viikoilla 11- 17 (14.3.-25.4.2022) Dynamolla, Lutakon kampuksella tai etänä Zoomissa
Learning materials and recommended literature
Opettajan oppimisympäristössä jakama kirjallinen materiaali ja videomateriaali.
Teaching methods
Kontaktiopetus/etäopetus 3+2 h/viikko, joissa luentoa ja laskuharjoituksia.
Palautettavat laskuharjoitukset.
Viikkotestit oppimisympäristössä.
Vapaaehtoinen harjoitustyö itsenäisesti.
Itsenäistä opiskelua varten on olemassa luentovideot.
Exam dates and retake possibilities
Julkaistaan opintojakson alussa oppimisympäristössä.
Alternative completion methods
Hyväksilukemisen menettelytavat kuvataan tutkintosäännössä ja opinto-oppaassa. Opintojakson opettaja antaa lisätietoa mahdollisista opintojakson erityiskäytänteistä.
Student workload
Luennot + laskuharjoitukset 30 h
Palautettavat laskuharjoitukset 2 x 9 h = 18 h
Viikkotestit 5 x 1 h = 5 h
Itsenäinen opiskelu ja tenttiin valmistautuminen 25 h
Tentti 3 h
Vapaaehtoinen harjoitustyö 12 h
Kuormitus on tasainen koko opintojakson ajan, yhteensä 81 h.
Further information for students
Opintojakso arvioidaan tentin, palautettavien laskuharjoitusten, viikkotestien ja mahdollisen harjoitustyön avulla. Suoritteet pisteytetään. Hyväksyttyyn suoritukseen vaaditaan vähintään puolet koko opintojakson maksimipistemäärästä ja vähintään kolmasosa kokeen maksimipistemäärästä.
