Getting familiar with programming language Java and standard library (Java Class Library - JCL), as well as with their application in implementation of distributed applications and their cryptographic protection.

The student is familiar with basic principles of programming language Java and Java Class Library. Furthermore, the student is capable of implementing various types of applications with focus in distributed applications and strong security protection using Java Cryptography Architecture.

Introduction to programming language Java and differences between programming languages C++ and Java. Description of Java Virtual Machine and Java compiler. Classes, inheritance and polymorphism, exceptions, introduction to generics and Java Class Library with focus on classes supporting file system handling, work with graphical user interface (Swing), network programming (Socket), multi-threading and cryptographic primitives (Java Cryptography Architecture / Java Cryptography Extension).

The course comprises of lectures and computer practice. Basic concepts are presented and explained during lectures using presentation slides. Lectures are continually followed by synchronized computer practice where students gain practical experience in programming and optimizing various algorithms related to communications and digital signal processing . Students have access to the complete course materials using web portal of the Department. Besides lectures and computer practice, consultations are held on regular basis. Acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills are tested in the form of one midterm colloquium and final exam.
