AICTE SDP on Cryptography and Embedded Systems in NIT

From 11-06-2007 to 23-06-2007

Organised by

Department ofElectronics & Communication Engineering
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CALICUT
KERALA, INDIA.

It is widelyrecognized that data security will play a central role in the design offuture IT systems. Many of those IT applications will be realized asembedded systems which rely heavily on security mechanisms. Examplesinclude security for wireless phones, wireless computing, pay-TV, andcopy protection schemes for audio/video consumer products and digitalcinemas. A large share of those embedded applications will be wireless,which makes the communication channel especially vulnerable. All modernsecurity systems are based on symmetric-key or public-key algorithms.

Thepresent course covers several important cryptographic concepts andtheir relevance to embedded system applications. A broad outline of thecourse is:

                      ♦  Number Theory - Review

♦  Abstract Algebra

♦  Coding Theory - Review

♦  Symmetric Key & Public Key Cryptography

♦  Block Ciphers & Stream Ciphers

♦  Hash & Message Authentication

♦  Communication Networks & Security Issues

♦  Wireless Communication & Security

♦  Advanced Microcontrollers & Applications

♦  FPGA & ASICs

♦  DSP Processors

♦  Elliptic Curve Cryptography

♦  Visual Crytpography

Resource Persons
The faculty for the course will be from National Institute of Technology, Calicut and other reputed Institutions.
