Instruction content/structure
  • Identification and authentication of users and computer systems, including authentication protocols and key management. Identify the possible threats to each mechanism and ways to protect against these threats.
  • knowledge of common network and Web vulnerabilities and attacks, defense mechanisms against these attacks, and cryptographic protection mechanisms.
  • concepts related to applied cryptography, including plaintext, cyphertext, symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, digital signatures.
  • concepts related to access control and operating system security, including access controlmatrices, protection, reference monitors, least privilege, discretionary access control, mandatory access control, multi-level security, role-based access control, and capabilities.
Qualification objectives

This course provides a introduction to computer networks and security. Students successfully completing this class will be able to evaluate works in academic and commercial security, and will have fundamental skills in security research. The course begins with a tutorial of the basic elements of cryptography, cryptanalysis, and systems security. This course examines the network security applications and standards. The emphasis is on applications that are widely used on the Internet and for corporate networks, and on standards (especially Internet standards) that have been widely deployed.
