Content (Syllabus outline):

1) Osnove post-kvantne kriptografije (PQC): Uvod v kvantno računalništvo in njegove posledice za klasično kriptografijo; pregled kriptografskih mehanizmov (simetrična in asimetrična kriptografija).

2) Post-kvantni kriptografski algoritmi: Pregled standardizacijskih prizadevanj NIST in kandidatov za PQC; družine algoritmov (kriptografija, ki temelji na mreži, kriptografija, ki temelji na kodah, kriptografija, ki temelji na enosmernem zgoščanju, ...).

3) Uporaba in izvedbe PQC: Prehod na post-kvantno kriptografijo v realnih sistemih; izvajanje protokolov PQC v programski in strojni opremi.

4) Kriptoanaliza in varnostna ocena PQC: Tehnike kriptoanalize za oceno varnosti post-kvantnih kriptosistemov; kvantni in klasični napadi na algoritme PQC; napadi na stranske kanale in druge praktične ranljivosti; formalni varnostni modeli za post-kvantno kriptografijo.

1) Foundations of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): Introduction to quantum computing and its implications on classical cryptography; Overview of cryptographic primitives (symmetric and asymmetric cryptography).

2) Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms: Overview of NIST PQC standardization efforts and candidates; Algorithm families (Lattice-based cryptography, Code-based cryptography, Hash-based cryptography,...).

3) Applications and Implementations of PQC: Transitioning to post-quantum cryptography in real-world systems; Implementing PQC protocols in software and hardware.

Objectives and competences:

Predmet je poglobljen uvod v področje post-kvantne kriptografije (PQC). Študenti se bodo seznanili s kriptografskimi sistemi, ki so odporni na napade kvantnih računalnikov, ter raziskali teoretične osnove, praktične izvedbe in tekoča prizadevanja za standardizacijo. Predmet združuje predavanja, praktične vaje in razprave o najnovejših raziskavah in aplikacijah.

Course provides an in-depth introduction to the field of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Students will learn about cryptographic systems resistant to attacks by quantum computers and explore the theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and ongoing standardization efforts. The course combines lectures, hands-on exercises, and discussions on the latest research and applications.
