Covers fundamental concepts of cryptography, including primitives, security, encryption, and authentication, exploring symmetric and public-key cryptography, key agreement, commitment schemes, and hash functions.
Explores message authentication codes and their formalism, with a focus on mobile telephony, covering topics like misuse attacks, security notions, and GSM architecture.
Explores RSA encryption, trapdoor functions, hash functions, and cryptographic standards, including a practical example with Apple's iMessage implementation.
Explores Bluetooth security, focusing on pairing protocols, key recovery, and active attacks in Bluetooth 2.0 and the enhanced Bluetooth 2.1 with Secure Simple Pairing (SSP).
Explores the physical limits and security aspects of symmetric encryption schemes, including energy consumption, key recovery, and distinguisher security.
