Exam solutions posted on Canvas + some parting thoughts

The solutions to the exam are now posted on Canvas. While the exam might have been on the more challenging end of the scale, I hope you also found some of the problems interesting.

Some comments based on the questions I received during the exam:

• Unfortunately, the hint for Problem 5 was missing in the problem description on Inspera. I became aware of this midway through the exam and posted a comment about it here. Hopefully everyone got it.
• Problem 6 and 7 had some ambiguities in their descriptions, but hopefully it was still possible to understand what was being asked. 

The above points will be taken into consideration during the grading process. An updated solution with a detailed grading rubric will be posted once the grading is done.

This marks the end of the course and I hope you enjoyed it. I certainly did. Cryptography is a fascinating field, and I hope this course helped spark your interest for the subject. For anyone wanting pointers to further topics to study, I will be happy to provide some suggestions. Again, if you liked TEK4500 I highly recommend you to sign up for TEK5550 next year.

Thank you all for taking the course, and have a safe and happy holiday!
