The main purpose of the course is to introduce the student to the basic concepts, results, tools and methods of the theory of polynomials over finite fields and its applications to algebraic cryptography and coding theory, using tools from the theory of algebraic curves. In addition, the elementary theory of elliptic curves is developed and several applications are given to various areas of Mathematics and other sciences. At the end of the course, we expect the student to understand the basic concepts and the main theorems that are analysed in the course, to understand how these are applied to concrete examples arising in Mathematics and related sciences, to be able to apply them to derive new elementary consequences in various thematic fields, and finally to be able to perform some (not so obvious) calculations related to the construction and analysis of algebraic codes and encrypted messages. |

General Competences |
The course aims at enabling the graduate to acquire the ability to analyse and synthesize basic knowledge of the theory of polynomials over finite fields in connection with the basic elements of algebraic curves, in particular of elliptic curves, which is an important part of modern Mathematics with numerous applications in other sciences, with a view to applications in coding theory and algebraic cryptography. In particular, in the course are analyzed: the basic theory of codes (linear and cyclic codes), the elementary theory of elliptic curves and their applications to cryptography. When the graduate comes in for the first time in connection with the basic notions of coding theory and the central concepts of elliptic curves and their applications to contemporary cryptography, (s)he strengthens her/his creative, analytical and inductive thinking, and her/his ability to apply abstract knowledge in different areas of central interest with numerous applications in everyday life. |
