Review of Cryptography (RoC Path)

Review of Cryptography for the course of Information Security at UniPd

The RoC path of the course in Information Security is a part of the course where students are invited to implement several techniques for a better comprehension of the cryptographic mechanism introduced by the Professor during the lectures.

My colleagues Luca Cosuti, Saverio Cavasin and I participated in all the Lab experiences. For both experiences, a Report can be found in the Lab directory.

The name of the group is TCP - Treviso Campari Piacenza.

Task 1 - Implementation and linear cryptanalysis of a simplified AES-like cipher

Linear and non-linear AES-like ciphers and Meet-in-the-Middle attack. The instructions for the Lab are provided within the directory Lab_1.

Task 2 - Implementation of random binning encoding and secrecy rate evaluation

Random binning encoding and secrecy rate evaluation. The instructions for the Lab are provided within the directory Lab_2.

Task 3 - Authentication schema

Implementing a simple authentication schema without using any cryptographic algorithm and then computing a tag for checking the integrity of the message. The instructions for the Lab are provided within the directory Lab_3.
