Home assignments
There are 5 sets of home assignments in the course HA1-HA5.
The procedure for solving and handing in the exercises can be found in the "introduction" lecture slides. Also rules and how grading is done can be found there. Make sure that you read those slides carefully!
Some exercises will require you to consult an academic paper. These can be accessed from the University network, but also from home by logging in to LibHub. In some cases a link is provided in the home assignment, otherwise Google Scholar is a good tool for findig them.
You can get your home assignments at the link provided in the lecture slides. They are planned to be released:
HA1: 2015-11-09
HA2: 2015-11-16
HA3: 2015-11-23
HA4: 2015-11-30
HA5: 2015-11-30
Link to hand in assignments are provided on the lecture slides. Your username is your LTH-ID and your initial password is your personal number (10 digits). Change your password when you have logged in the first time.
If you are still looking for someone to work with on the assignments, send an email to Martin and I will match you.
Treating references in home assignments. You are not required to provide references in your answers to A-assignments. For B-assignments, you should only do it if you feel that it is really motivated, but you are not expected to do it. For C-assignments that require you to write a short essay, you should always provide relevant references.

Information about oral exam
The main goal is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the subjects. You should be able to
- discuss your solutions to your home assignments. Those that you did for A and C, and all B-assignments,
- use your knowledge from the course to discuss the security of related topics, protocols or technologies,
- discuss design choices and the consequences when some parts are modified,
- compare similar protocols and provide clear explanations regarding the differences.
The exam will consist of questions related to the above aspects. Some questions will likely be in discussion form and may not have a clear answer. Your task is then to have an informed discussion about a problem.
The procedure is roughly as follows: You will be given as set of topics with related questions. Then you get 10 minutes to think about the questions by yourself. After that we discuss the topics and the questions. You are not supposed to answer the questions one by one, but instead use them as a starting point for discussion. When that is done I will discuss one or a few of the assignments that you have done and let you elaborate on that.
Bottom line: You talk, I listen.
Historically, around 50-70% will pass the oral exam.
Dates for oral exam will be 15/1- 22/1, 2016.
