ECTS 3.0
Goal(s)
The goal is to acquire the foundations of code theory (computer science and mathematics) that provide provable guarantees on confidentiality, inetgrity and authentication for digital communications. This course presents the theory of codes, its mathematical foundation and its applications in cryptography,
compression and error-correction. It gives the bases required to implement and use coding protocols.
