Undergraduate cryptography course material.

These are Anne M. Ho's undergraduate cryptography course materials from Coastal Carolina University (CCU). Note: this course is listed as Math 408 as well as Computer Science 408.

Textbook: Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory (2nd Edition) by Trappe and Washington.

Credit Hours: 3. This class meets 2 days a week for 1 hour and 15 minutes during each class session.

Prerequisite: Mathematical Proofs and Problem Solving or Introduction to Discrete Math.

Course Information: This is a lecture-based class which introduces students to the fundamentals of cryptography and cryptanalysis, primarily focusing on data encryption and decryption.

I taught this course during the Fall 2016 semester and am teaching it again during Fall 2017. Note: Fall 2016 was the semester Hurricane Matthew came through, so everything got shifted back, but all the original topics were still covered (albeit some in less detail). New material will be added throughout the Fall 2017 semester.

--Homework assignments (Missions) and solutions

--Handouts and in-class activities

--Syllabus

--Some CoCalc (formerly SageMath) code, much of this is based on Kate Stange's (CU Boulder) course. All of my code is short and can be run on https://sagecell.sagemath.org/
