Applied cryptography has been a fundamental part of cybersecurity. On one hand, in many scenarios, specific cryptographic tools or protocols need to be designed for different security purposes; on the other hand, misuse or ad hoc crypto designs have led to vulnerabilities in large scale secure systems. This unit provides theoretical, design, and practical skills that are required to design, deploy, and evaluate basic cryptographic modules in cybersecurity products.
