Criptografia e Protocolos de Segurança
Student Feedback
The reviews below this point may be outdated. Course content, teaching methods, and requirements may have changed since then.
It’s very theoretical. The exam is about 6 proof-based exercises, which isn’t very typical for LEIC.
But the project is actually pretty cool. There’s a list of N papers, you pick one and implement it in whatever language you want.
Cryptography, first of all, is a course from the Math department, and the professor (Paulo Mateus) clearly doesn’t care about LEIC students.
He says things like, and I swear I’m not making this up: 'In this course, the exam is for math students and the project is for computer science students. If you’re in LEIC, you better get a 20 on the project because you’re not getting more than a 3 on the exam.'
