Glossary

C#

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations.

Cryptology

From greek
"krypto's," standing for "hidden"
"lo'gos," standing for "word", "reason", or "plan"

Cryptography

From greek
"krypto's," standing for "hidden"
"gra'phein," standing for "write"

Mathematical science that deals with transforming data to render its meaning unintelligible (i.e., to hide its semantic content), prevent its undetected alteration, or prevent its unauthorized use

Cryptographic System

Secure Cryptographic System
An adversary with specified capabilities is not able to break it
Unkeyed Crypto-systems
One way functions

Cryptanalysis

Mathematical science that deals with analysis of a cryptographic system in order to gain knowledge needed to break or circumvent the protection that the system is designed to provide

C++

C++ is a middle-level programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs

Complexity Theory

  • Provide mechanisms for classifying computational problems
    • according to the resources needed to solve them
  • The classification should not depend on a particular computational model
    • should measure the intrinsic difficulty of the problem
  • The computational may include time, storage space, random bits, number of processors, etc.
    • typically the main focus is time, and sometimes space

Commutative (Abelian) Group

  • Group
  • ⟨S,∗⟩ is commutative if ∗ is commutative
    • a ∗ b = b ∗ a for all a, b ∈ S

Cloud

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.
