Presents the foundations to understand security and privacy threats as well as defenses in wireless and mobile systems, especially in the era of softwarization of wireless networks. Studies the proliferation of wireless systems within a wide variety of contexts such as telephony, navigation, sensor networks, and critical infrastructures. Examines the security challenges inherent in the broadcast nature of wireless technologies and the increased availability of software-defined radios. Offers students an opportunity to obtain experience in describing and classifying security goals and attacks in modern wireless networks, to identify the unique security implications of these effects, and how to mitigate security issues associated with them.

CY 5001Cybersecurity: Technologies, Threats, and Defenses4
Seeks to provide a systematic understanding of cyberspace technology and applications deployed in the global digital infrastructure. Covers topics in computer networks, server architectures, operating systems, and scripting. All the techniques and tools included in the course are oriented to serve as instruments of security administrators and cybersecurity professionals. Uses practical hands-on labs running on virtual machines and containers hosted in the cloud computing environment to train students. For that reason, a practical overview of virtualization technologies, containerization, and cloud computing models is provided.
Provides an overview of various software security threats and some of the most effective countermeasures used to thwart both well-known and newly emerging software security threats. Introduces best practices and tools available to help minimize common software security attacks, recognizing that it is impossible to accomplish “perfect security” in software. Also studies secure coding concepts, tools, and practices in a high-level programming language.
Introduces information security via concepts of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Discusses ethical, legal, and privacy ramifications while reviewing various laws, such as the Patriot Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the General Data Protection Regulation. Covers security methods, controls, procedures, economics of cybercrime, criminal procedure, and forensics.
Prerequisite(s): CS 2550 with a minimum grade of D- or CY 2550 with a minimum grade of D- or IA 5010 with a minimum grade of C- or CY 5010 with a minimum grade of C- or graduate program admission
Prerequisite(s): CS 2550 with a minimum grade of D- or CY 2550 with a minimum grade of D- or IA 5010 with a minimum grade of C- or CY 5010 with a minimum grade of C- or graduate program admission
CY 5240Cyberlaw: Privacy, Ethics, and Digital Rights4
Prerequisite(s): CS 2550 with a minimum grade of D- or CY 2550 with a minimum grade of D- or IA 5010 with a minimum grade of C- or CY 5010 with a minimum grade of C- or graduate program admissionAttribute(s): NUpath Ethical Reasoning, NUpath Writing Intensive
CY 5250Decision Making for Critical Infrastructure4
Focuses on the art and science of security program management leadership in the context of critical infrastructure protection programs. Includes selected readings, review of decision-making models in crisis, lectures and insights from accomplished leaders in infrastructure protection, and examination of the students’ own unique background and experiences. Trains students on the interaction of vulnerabilities, threats, and countermeasures and how to apply this knowledge to the protection of critical infrastructure using research and analysis of national and global strategies, historical and current legislation, and policies. Also seeks to give students a working knowledge of federal, state, and private-sector critical infrastructure protection resources and programs.
Seeks to provide cybersecurity (CY) students with the training experience of working on a specific IA project under the direction of an CY instructor. The instructor provides students with a plan of seminar sessions, including lectures, research, and development of project deliverables and with direction to complete the course. May be repeated without limit.
Focuses on security and privacy of mobile and wireless systems. Provides the foundations to understand the security and privacy threats and defenses in wireless and mobile systems, especially in an era where wireless network functions are implemented in software instead of traditional hardware-based solutions. Covers topics on availability/integrity issues in wireless networks, Wi-Fi and cellular network security, broadcast authentication techniques, jamming and antijamming techniques, etc. Emphasizes hands-on practical exercises to strengthen the understanding of concepts covered during the lectures. Reviews the state of the art in wireless security research through readings. Offers students an opportunity to execute a semester-long project in the broad area of wireless security.
Draws together candidates from diverse backgrounds (technical, legal, and/or law enforcement) in a collaborative activity to address one or more security issues from an integrated perspective. Requires a project proposal, generally industrially oriented, to be submitted and accepted prior to the semester in which the project is to be undertaken.
Offers students an opportunity to participate in a direct cybersecurity project under the supervision of a faculty member. May be repeated once for a total of 8 credits.
