Discrete Mathematics and Secure Computing - Specialization
Discrete Mathematics and Secure Computing
This specialisation will provide students with skills within mathematics and computer science that are essential to the construction of modern, pervasive IT and communication systems that form our society's infrastructure.
Specialization specific courses
The student must follow the requirements in the general curriculum for the programme. In addition, at least 20 ECTS points are obtained among the following courses:
| 01405 | Algebraic Error-Correcting Codes | 5 | point | Spring F4B (Fri 8-12) |
| 01415 | Computational Discrete Mathematics | 5 | point | Autumn E5B (Wed 13-17) |
| 01425 | Advanced Cryptography | 5 | point | Spring F5B (Wed 13-17) |
| 01426 | Research Topics in Cryptography | 5 | point | Autumn E3A (Tues 8-12) |
| 02231 | Cryptography Fundamentals | 5 | point | Autumn E1A (Mon 8-12) |
| 02278 | Post-Quantum Cryptography | 5 | point | June |
Recommended elective courses
The following courses are recommended for the specialization:
| 01527 | Graph Theory II | 5 | point | Autumn and Autumn E2A (Mon 13-17) |
Note that the course 01527 is a PhD course, which requires a certain degree of mathematical maturity. It is therefore recommended that this course is chosen by students who have previous experience in mathematical courses where proofs played a central role like 01018, 01405 or 01415. Students are also expected to know about basic concepts from graph theory as covered in the course 01227.
Examples of study plans
Two examples are shown: one for students beginning in September, and one for students beginning in February.
The study plans are examples only. Students are free to exchange the shown courses with other courses if the general requirements for the curriculum in mathmatical modelling and computation and the specialisation are satisfied. The proposed plans fulfil requirements of the MMC curriculum.

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
