While AI tools (such as ChatGPT, code generators, or automated debugging tools) can be useful for learning and exploration, their unauthorized use to complete assignments or exams is strictly prohibited.
You are encouraged to use AI tools to enhance your understanding of cryptographic concepts or clarify doubts, but you must not rely on these tools to generate solutions for assignments or exams.
Unauthorized Assistance: Any code or solutions generated by AI tools and submitted as your own work without proper attribution will be considered a violation of academic integrity.
Students found in violation may face disciplinary actions as outlined by the university’s academic integrity policy.
