MSc Cryptography & Information Security

A master's on the mathematics and engineering of secure systems. Students study number theory, algebra and complexity as the basis of cryptography, prove security of schemes by reduction, and analyse protocols, software and hardware for vulnerabilities. Practical work includes cryptanalysis exercises, side-channel measurements, protocol verification and secure implementation. It suits graduates in mathematics, computer science or electrical engineering who want to design cryptographic systems or evaluate security rigorously, and it ends with a research thesis.
