Preamble:

The course on Cryptographic Algorithms aims at exploring various algorithms deployed in offering confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation services. This course covers classical encryption techniques, symmetric and public key crypto-system, key exchange and management, and authentication functions. The concepts covered in this course enable the learners in effective use of cryptographic algorithms for real life applications.

Prerequisite: A sound background in Number Theory.

Course Outcomes: After the completion of the course the student will be able to
CO1 Identify the security services provided for different types of security attacks.
(Cognitive Knowledge Level : Understand)
CO2 Summarize the classical encryption techniques for information hiding. 
(Cognitive Knowledge Level: Apply)
CO3 Illustrate symmetric / asymmetric key cryptographic algorithms for secure
communication.(Cognitive Knowledge Level: Apply)
CO4 Interpret key management techniques for secure communication.
(Cognitive Knowledge Level: Understand)
CO5 Summarize message authentication functions in a secure communication scenario.
(Cognitive Knowledge Level: Understand)

Continuous Internal Evaluation Pattern:
Attendance : 10 marks
Continuous Assessment Tests : 25 marks
Continuous Assessment Assignment : 15 marks

Internal Examination Pattern:
Each of the two internal examinations has to be conducted out of 50 marks. First Internal Examination shall be preferably conducted after completing the first half of the syllabus and the Second Internal Examination shall be preferably conducted after completing remaining part of the syllabus.

There will be two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A contains 5 questions (preferably, 2 questions each from the completed modules and 1 question from the partly covered module), having 3 marks for each question adding up to 15 marks for part A. Students should answer all questions from Part A. Part B contains 7 questions (preferably, 3 questions each from the completed modules and 1 question from the partly covered module), each with 7 marks. Out of the 7 questions in Part B, a student should answer any 5.

End Semester Examination Pattern:
There will be two parts; Part A and Part B. Part A contains 10 questions with 2 questions from each module, having 3 marks for each question. Students should answer all questions. Part B contains 2 questions from each module of which a student should answer any one. Each question can have maximum 2 sub-divisions and carries 14 marks.

Definition of Computer Security The NIST Computer Security Handbook [NIST95] defines the term computer security as follows: Computer Security: The protection afforded to an automated information system in order to attain the applicable objectives of preserving the integrity, availability,and confidentiality of information system resources (includes hardware, software, firmware, information/data, and telecommunications).   This definition introduces three key objectives that are at the heart of computer  security: Confidentiality: This term covers two related concepts:             Data confidentiality: Assures that private or confidential information is not made available or disclosed to unauthorized individuals.      Privacy: Assures that individuals control or influence what information related to them may be collected and stored and by whom and to whom that information may be disclosed.   Integrity: This term covers two related concepts:      Data integrity: Assures that information
