SST 115Digital Systems3
This course introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer and digital systems as they relate to modern cybersecurity and related environments. Students learn how hardware and software interact, how data is represented and processed, and how operating systems and file systems organize and manage information. Topics include analog and digital signals, number systems, digital logic, logic circuits, computer architecture, data storage, networks, and cloud systems. Course Offered: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer Credits: (3,0)
Computer Forensics II is a continuation of CRJ 115 or SST 115. This course covers topics such as disk geometry and organization. Master boot sector record and volume record creation and organization, file signatures for data type identification, cyclic redundancy checksum for data integrity validation, and RSA's MD5 hash values for file authentication. Other subjects introduced include the UNIX "grep" search utility, search string techniques and file signature matching, and recovery of files that are intentionally deleted, hidden, or renamed. The course examines advanced computer- based evidentiary and "discovery" data methodologies, and includes a study of evidence identification, documentation, and chain of custody procedures. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 115 or SST 115 Course Offered: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer Credits: (3,0)
This course focuses on security threats to an organization's data network such as hackers, intruders, industrial espionage and sabotage, fraud and theft. The components of computer security architecture are studied as well as the principles of security networking protocols, encryption, fault tolerance techniques, and file system protection. Additional topics covered include the protection of computer hardware and software. Prerequisite(s): BCS 109 or BCS 120 or (CRJ 115 or SST 115) or EET 110 Course Offered: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer Credits: (3,0)
This course is a continuation of CRJ 310, and includes an analysis of the security features of computer operating systems. The course will review the OSI model and describe how systems communicate with one another. Also included in the course is a detailed study of authentication technologies and how they are used to secure an organization's assets and electronic transactions. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 310 or SST 310 Course Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credits: (3,0,1)
The course examines computer software threats which include the birth, life and termination of computer viruses, their modes of operation, detection techniques, virus signatures and virus removal methods as well as other "virus like" threats which are delivered by e-mail and internet/intranet packets. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 311 or SST 311 Course Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credits: (3,0)
This course will discuss the security issues in computer networks and different security mechanisms to protect the secure internal networks and systems. It will involve a study of firewall technologies, including packet filtering, proxying, network address translation, and virtual private networks. An analysis of firewall architectures, such as screening routers, screened hosts, hosts, screened subnets, perimeter networks, and internal firewalls, will be included. It will also discuss the architecture, monitoring strategies, and analysis engines of an intrusion detection system. An analysis of information transformation processes for intrusion detection, such as misuse and anomaly detection, will be covered. Additional topics will include a study of technical issues in intrusion detection such as scalability, interoperability, sensor control, reliability, integration, and use interfaces. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 115 or SST 115 Course Index • 202 Course Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credits: Credits:3 (3,0,1)
A study of the theory and practice of managing the movement of people in organizational settings. This lecture course examines the operating principles and applications of access control readers, card encoding technologies, locking assemblies, and system functions such as fail- safe, fail-secure, access levels, time zones, limited and unlimited access privileges, and the like. Also, the course focuses on the role of alarm systems in an organization's overall protection plan, from the control of violence in the workplace to preventing theft of company property. Sensor technologies as well as controls and signaling systems are analyzed and evaluated with applications in the following areas: perimeter, interior, occupant, and object protection. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 323 or SST 323 Course Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credits: Credits:4 (4,0,1)
A continuation of CRJ 420. Advanced topics include a study of camera and lens types, monitors, video signaling systems, scanners, pan and tilt positioning devices, video motion detectors, camera housings and enclosures, switchers, multiplexers, time-lapse VCRs, digital video recorders, and their interactive role in the design of CCTV systems. Analysis of illumination technologies, including fluorescent, high and low pressure sodium, metal halide, ultraviolet and infrared light sources. Other topics include the application philosophy as well as the hardware and software components of video surveillance computers, and the analysis of video field and frame compositions with reference to identification issues in criminal cases. An inquiry into the legal and ethical dimensions of surveillance, including Fourth Amendment guidelines, Plain View Doctrine cases, the Expectation of Privacy court cases and directives, and the Exclusionary Rule. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 420 or SST 420 Course Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credits: (3,0,1)
This course introduces the technologies associated with bitcoin and cryptocurrency, including their cryptographic building blocks and security, bitcoin’s consensus mechanism, individual components of bitcoin protocol, storage and usage of bitcoin, bitcoin mining, anonymity, community, politics, and regulation, alternative mining puzzles, bitcoin as a platform, altcoins and cryptocurrency ecosystem, and the future of bitcoin. Prerequisite(s): CRJ 311 or CPS 401 or SST 311 Credits: (3,0)
The internship course is designed to provide the students with the opportunity to earn technical elective credits by acquiring hands-on industry experience. A student will work in a computer security related role at an organization in consultation with a Faculty advisor. The student will maintain a log of their work at the organization signed by the supervisor. In addition, weekly journal entries will be enforced to summarize the work experience. Finally, the student will need to write two reflective essays about the internship experience. Prerequisite(s): Approval of department chair Course Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credits: (9,0) SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY (STS)
