A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

MI-BHW.16 Security and Hardware Extent of teaching: 2P+2C
Instructor: Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18103 Credits: 5 Semester: L

Annotation:
Students gain a basic knowledge in selected topics of cryptography and cruptanalysis. The module focuses particularly on elliptic curve cryptography, and on contemporary attacks on cryptographic systems. Students gain a good overview of the functionality of (hardware) cryptographic accelerators, random number generators, smart cards, and resources for securing of internal functions of computer systems.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Smart Cards.
2. Efficient Implementation of RSA.
3. Efficient Exponentiation.
4. (2) Implementation of Prime Fields Operations.
5. (2) Implementation of Binary Fields Operations.
6. Implementation of General Fields Operations.
7. (2) Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
8. Brute-Force Attacks
9. Time-Memory Trade-Off Attacks.

Seminar syllabus:
1. Implementation of a chosen cipher in a FPGA or a microcontroller.
2. RSA.
3. Digital signature.
4. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Point addition over elliptic curve; its implementation in the FPGA or the microcontroller.
5. Diffie-Hellman key exchange over elliptic curve (ECDH); its implementation in the FPGA or the microcontroller.
