Symmetric-key primitives

• Basic primitives (DES, AES, SHA1, SHA3,...).
• Generic attacks - exhaustive search, collision finding, memoryless collision finding, time-memory tradeoff attacks (e.g., rainbow tables).
• Analysis of primitives - differential and linear cryptanalysis.
• Combination of primitives (how to transform AES into a secure authenticated channel - and mostly, what NOT to do).
• Symmetric-Key primitives for "cool new stuff" - most notably, ZK and MPC.
