Cryptography (CSC 316) is a Fifth Semester course in Tribhuvan University’s BSc CSIT program. It covers the principles and design of cryptosystems — classical and modern ciphers, symmetric and public-key encryption, hash functions and digital signatures, authentication, network security protocols, and malicious logic.

Start with the official Cryptography syllabus (CSC 316), then study from the notes below:

What you’ll learn

  • Security fundamentals, the CIA triad, and classical ciphers (Caesar, Playfair, Hill, Vigenère, Rail Fence)
  • Symmetric ciphers: Feistel structure, DES, Triple DES, IDEA, AES, and block cipher modes
  • Finite fields and number theory for cryptography
  • Public-key cryptography: RSA, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, and ElGamal
  • MACs, MD5, SHA-1/SHA-2, and digital signature standards
  • Kerberos, X.509 and PKI, PGP, SSL/TLS, IPSec, firewalls, and intrusion detection
