COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how they work and sketch how they can be implemented. ...
CS-438: Decentralized systems engineeringA decentralized system is one that works when no single party is in charge or fully trusted. This course teaches decentralized systems principles while guiding students through the engineering of their own decentralized system featuring messaging, file sha ...
COM-301: Computer security and privacyThis is an introductory course to computer security and privacy. Its goal is to provide students with means to reason about security and privacy problems, and provide them with tools to confront them. ...
CS-459: Foundations of probabilistic proofsProbabilistic proof systems (eg PCPs and IPs) have had a tremendous impact on theoretical computer science, as well as on real-world secure systems. They underlie delegation of computation protocols and hardness of approximation. This course covers the fou ...
EE-552: Media securityThis course provides attendees with theoretical and practical issues in media security. In addition to lectures by the professor, the course includes laboratory sessions, a mini-project, and a mid-term exam. ...
CS-119(g): Information, Computation, CommunicationL'objectif de ce cours est d'initier les étudiants à la pensée algorithmique, de les familiariser avec les fondamentaux de
l'informatique et des communications et de développer une première compétence en programmation (langage C++). ...
CS-523: Advanced topics on privacy enhancing technologiesThis advanced course will provide students with the knowledge to tackle the design of privacy-preserving ICT systems. Students will learn about existing technologies to prect privacy, and how to evaluate the protection they provide. ...
MATH-504: Integer optimisationThe course aims to introduce the basic concepts and results of integer optimization with special emphasis on algorithmic problems on lattices that have proved to be important in theoretical computer science and cryptography during the past 30 years. ...
MGT-493: Information security & digital trustTechnology and information play a crucial role in today's societies and economies. The security and privacy aspects of
information technologies are paramount to build digital trust. In this course, we address these aspects for prominent
information technol ...
PHYS-758: Advanced Course on Quantum CommunicationThe aim of this doctoral course by Nicolas Sangouard is to lay the theoretical groundwork that is needed for students to understand how to take advantage of quantum effects for communication technologies and contribute to on-going efforts in this field. ...
COM-622: Topics in information-theoretic cryptographyInformation-theoretic methods and their application to secrecy & privacy. Perfect information-theoretic secrecy. Randomness extraction & privacy amplification. Secret key generation from common randomness. Measures of information leakage incl. differential ...
CS-602: Foundation of probabilistic proofsProbabilistic proof system (eg PCPs and IPs) have had a tremendous impact on the theoretical computer science, and have also found practical uses. They underlie delegation of computation protocols and hardness of approximation. This course covers the found ...
CS-605: Computational and statistical learning theoryStatistical learning theory for supervised learning and generalization in PAC and online models (VC theory, MDL/SRM, covering numbers, Radamacher Averages, boosting, compression, stability and connection with strong convexity in Banch spaces); Computationa ...
