Extended-answer tests
D1
T4
B2
There are two written test.

The first test comprises the following units: theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures.

The second test comprises the following units: secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography.

Both written tests have the same weight, i.e. a 30% each of them.

Passing both tests is required to pass the course.

Other comments and second exam session

Students who do not pass the subject in the continuous assessment have to carry out a examination on the second call, and deliver the practice. The exam will consist of three parts, corresponding to the three parts of the course:

First part: advanced cryptographic primitives;

Second part: theoretical and mathematical aspects of cryptology, advanced cryptographic schemes, advanced digital signatures.

Third part: secure multiparty computation, quantum cryptography.

Each part is scored out of 10 points. The students have to obtain at least 4 in each of the parts to pass the examination, and the weighted sum of the three parts must be greater than 5 points (first part 14%, second part 43% and third part 43%).

The practice must have a minimum of five to pass the course. Otherwise, the students can no pass the course.

Students may not bring any electronic devices on the written tests.
