The following grading criteria can be used to evaluate the performance of a student.

 

 

Organization

Implementation

Conventions

Exceeds

Clearly understands the problem and presents a solid solution using the concepts on the web site.  Discusses the attacks the solution guards against and some attacks that it does not stop.  

Everything from the initial key distribution to the final exchange of information is discussed in the implementation.  A good understanding of public key cryptography and some basic features are presented.   Also shows good use of secret splitting, bit commitment, and other tough topics.

Solid work that demonstrates careful attention to details. Few errors.

Succeeds

Develops a working solution to the basic problem.

Describes just the account deduction and spending of money.  Does not use all the features in this site, but does show a solid implementation of the basic protocol and public key cryptography.

There are some errors in the implementation, but nothing major.

Needs Improvement

Does not use the website to develop a solution.

Implementation of basic functionality would fail.

Many errors in the approach.  Needs work.
