COSC 410 - Quantum Cryptography

3 credits
This course focuses on the field of quantum communications and quantum cryptography. A review of digital communications, computer networks and classical cryptography is provided in order to ensure a successful initial condition. The topics covered involve concepts necessary for implementing quantum communications systems including encryption, key distribution protocols, and post-quantum cryptographic techniques. Projects are designed to allow students to apply and test QKD protocols.
