The art of cryptography: cryptanalytic world records
(4+2 SWS. )

Daniel Loebenberger and Konstantin Ziegler

Tutorial:

Cryptanalysis is the art of breaking cryptographic systems. To attack for example the cryptosystem RSA, it is sufficient (though not necessary) to factor the underlying RSA modulus. Other algorithms, like ElGamal encryption or the DSA, can be broken by computing discrete logarithms in certain domains.

Many attacks on symmetric cryptosystems are based on differential or linear ...
