Diese Dissertation behandelt die Kodierung und Verschickung von Information durch einen Quantenkanal. Ein Quantenkanal besteht aus einem quantenmechanischen System, welches vom Sender manipuliert und vom Empfänger ausgelesen werden kann. Dabei repräsentiert der individuelle Zustand des Kanals die Nachricht. <br /> <br /> Die zwei Themen der Dissertation umfassen 1) die Möglichkeit, eine Nachricht in einem Quantenkanal verlustfrei zu komprimieren und 2) die Möglichkeit eine Nachricht von einer Partei zu einer einer anderen direkt und auf sichere Weise zu übermitteln, d.h. ohne dass es einer dritte Partei möglich ist, die Nachricht abzuhören und dabei unerkannt zu bleiben.<br /> <br /> Die wesentlichen Ergebnisse der Dissertation sind die folgenden. <br /> Ein allgemeiner Formalismus für Quantencodes mit variabler Länge wird ausgearbeitet. Diese Codes sind notwendig um verlustfreie Kompression zu ermöglichen. Wegen der Quantennatur des Kanals sind die codierten Nachrichten allgemein in einer Superposition von verschiedenen Längen. Es zeigt sich, daß es unmöglich ist eine Quantennachricht verlustfrei zu komprimieren, wenn diese dem Sender nicht apriori bekannt ist. Im anderen Falle wird die Möglichkeit verlustfreier Quantenkompression gezeigt und eine untere Schranke für die Kompressionsrate abgeleitet. Des weiteren wird ein expliziter Kompressionsalgorithmus konstruiert, der für beliebig vorgegebene Ensembles aus Quantennachrichten funktioniert.<br /> <br /> Ein quantenkryptografisches Prokoll - das &ldquo;Ping-Pong Protokoll&rdquo; - wird vorgestellt, welches die sichere direkte übertragung von klassischen Nachrichten durch einen Quantenkanal ermöglicht. Die Sicherheit des Protokolls gegen beliebige Abhörangriffe wird bewiesen für den Fall eines idealen Quantenkanals. Im Gegensatz zu anderen quantenkryptografischen Verfahren ist das Ping-Pong Protokoll deterministisch und kann somit sowohl für die Übermittlung eines zufälligen Schlüssels als auch einer komponierten Nachricht verwendet werden. Das Protokoll is perfekt sicher für die Übertragung eines Schlüssels und quasi-sicher für die direkte Übermittlung einer Nachricht. Letzteres bedeutet, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines erfolgreichen Abhörangriffs exponenziell mit der Länge der Nachricht abnimmt. / This thesis deals with the encoding and transmission of information through a quantum channel. A quantum channel is a quantum mechanical system whose state is manipulated by a sender and read out by a receiver. The individual state of the channel represents the message.<br /> <br /> The two topics of the thesis comprise 1) the possibility of compressing a message stored in a quantum channel without loss of information and 2) the possibility to communicate a message directly from one party to another in a secure manner, that is, a third party is not able to eavesdrop the message without being detected.<br /> <br /> The main results of the thesis are the following. <br /> A general framework for variable-length quantum codes is worked out. These codes are necessary to make lossless compression possible. Due to the quantum nature of the channel, the encoded messages are in general in a superposition of different lengths. It is found to be impossible to compress a quantum message without loss of information if the message is not apriori known to the sender. In the other case it is shown that lossless quantum data compression is possible and a lower bound on the compression rate is derived. Furthermore, an explicit compression scheme is constructed that works for arbitrarily given source message ensembles. <br /> <br /> A quantum cryptographic protocol - the &ldquo;ping-pong protocol&rdquo; - is presented that realizes the secure direct communication of classical messages through a quantum channel. The security of the protocol against arbitrary eavesdropping attacks is proven for the case of an ideal quantum channel. In contrast to other quantum cryptographic protocols, the ping-pong protocol is deterministic and can thus be used to transmit a random key as well as a composed message. <br /> The protocol is perfectly secure for the transmission of a key, and it is quasi-secure for the direct transmission of a message. The latter means that the probability of successful eavesdropping exponentially decreases with the length of the message.

This thesis is focused on the topic of digital certificates for secure communication. First of all, methods of authentication and cryptography are analyzed as a starting point. Furthermore, the thesis describes communication protocols for secure connection HTTPS and SSL/TLS, the importance of certification authorities and their characteristics. It devotes the biggest part of attention to digital certificates as such. Practical part introduces available certification authorities, including practical creation of the new certification authority and certificate. This untrusted certificate has become the key element of the questionnaire survey, which aim is to analyze knowledge level of users about secure connection through trusted certificates. After the analysis, interpretation of obtained data and verification of selected hypothesis, recommendations for domain owners, who are planning to use HTTPS, were proposed.

We provide a broad introduc- tion to lightweight cryptography together with a survey of current design trends and lightweight cryptography standards, with special attention to this competition. In the second part, we present a description and cryptoanalysis of three lightweight ciphers: SIV-Rijndael256, CLX, and Limdolen. 1

The theme of the thesis is Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF). The following objectives were assigned: to provide a literature research concerning PUFs, to perform a property analysis to select appropriate type of PUF for implementation and to realize an authentication cryptosystem based on the chosen PUF. Based on the research, the cryptosystem was designed based on ring oscillator PUF. The proposed cryptosystem is tested in several scenarios with the maximal rate of successful authentication of 81%. The cryptosystem also allows to be used for device identification. Furthermore, the results were discussed and suitable improvements of design was proposed. Besides the cryptosystem itself, the thesis also introduced a unique comparison of existing types of PUFs.

The goal of this paper is to devise software to support teaching. This material is created as a web presentation, which described the theoretical foundations and the main characteristics of cryptosystems based on elliptical curves. The whole issue is supported by practical examples of calculations examples, there are also examples for independent work. Additionally, java applets are prepared that allow an interactive opportunity to try the basic parameters of curves, or verify the calculations.

Master´s thesis tries to find a solution to make a secure transmission channel between virtual serial ports on the personal computer and the serial ports on the Rabbit RCM3700 development KIT. Today’s communications channels don't offer appropriate security of a whole communication. Therefore it depends on get-togethers, in order to realize this security themselves. This security means ensuring reliable transmission of data to be encrypted between parties so that any attacker is not able to read real-time, or eventually change them. As a result of this Master thesis is the design and implementation, which in addition to encryption algorithm provides sufficient security and authenticity of communication between the parties. As an encryption algorithm has been chosen widely used AES algorithm and as authentication algorithm has been chosen algorithm, which for authenticity requires knowledge of the secret key.
