This master’s trains specialist mathematical engineers to become digital information protection experts.<\/strong> The programme is geared towards students who have graduated with a Mathematics degree and students who wish to develop the necessary skills to deal with rapidly changing information sectors (cryptography, error correction) in which mathematics play an ever-increasing role.<\/p>\n

Students will gain in-depth understanding of cryptography by learning the necessary theory behind modern cryptography and information theory, as well as practical knowledge for effective application in real life. Fundamental mathematics for modelisation and digital information processing include several branches of mathematics, such as algebra, geometry, combinatorics and probability.<\/strong> Students acquire a dual competence in Mathematics and Computer Science.<\/p>\n

The aim of this Master\u2019s is to teach students how to handle complex mathematics both from a theoretical and algorithmic point of view.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because cryptography has had a strong foothold in Rennes since the 80s, this Master\u2019s programme is taught within a framework at the forefront of cryptography. The programme\u2019s teaching staff come from academic, research (IRMAR and IRISA labs) and industrial sectors (DGA-MI \u2013 Information Control Defence Agency, Orange Labs, and Amossys, amongst others).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
