Cryptography is the science of designing and breaking secret codes. This course describes the progress of cryptography through the ages. We move from the time of the Roman empire up to the modern day techniques of the digital revolution. Finally we speculate on the future by examining current ideas based on quantum physics. The course of their simple implementations using computer programs.
Christino Tamon has been teaching cryptography at Clarkson since 1997. His research interests include machine learning theory and quantum computation, both of which have strong connections with cryptography.
PARKING NOTES: If you did not receive a “Visitor Parking Permit” and "Parking Brochure" with your registration confirmation, please, call the SOAR office (267-2690) to request them. You must have the official "Visitor Parking Permit" displayed on your dashboard in order to park near the buidling. LINK to the "Parking Brochure" (brochure contains a parking map) at Clarkson University. If you have a handicap parking sticker, you must display that as well as your Clarkson "Visitor Parking Permit" to park in a handcap spot near the the Science Center (the front, side, and back lots all have handicap spaces. View the SOAR "Location" page, i.e. LINK to the "Clarkson University: Science Center 334" to find additional help on building and classroom location and more info on where to park.
NOTE: Recommended books: Simon Singh, The Code Book (Anchor, 1999); David Kahn, The Codebreakers, revised edition (Scribner, 1996); Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography, 2nd edition (John Wiley & Sons, 1986).
