Master of Science - Cryptography

Whether students want to understand the potential of blockchain or examine how identity and data is protected online, London Metropolitan University's Cryptography MSc course will give students the tools to examine and learn about information security in the digital age.

Cryptography is based on mathematical theory and computer science. It is the construction and analysis of protocols that prevent third parties or the public from reading private messages. Information security underpinned by cryptographic techniques is key to life in the digital age, with social media and e-commerce increasingly reliant on strong algorithms to protect sensitive personal data. This course is, therefore, an excellent starting point if students want to have a career in developing and applying information security algorithms.
