To cover the concepts of information theory, optimal data compression, error control codes and cryptography.

• Randomness as uncertainty and the entropic measure of information. Noiseless coding for memoryless sources and optimal compression.

• Noisy channels and their capacity. Error-correcting codes, binary Hamming codes, cyclic codes.

• One-time pads, computational complexity, one-way functions, public key cryptography and the RSA system. Basic concepts of Quantum Information including entanglement and quantum logic gates.
