SC 491Introduction to Cryptography (4.5
/45 contact hrs) This course is an undergraduate introduction to cryptography. The aim is to understand the theoretical foundations of cryptosystems used in the real world. This course complements Computer and Network Security, which focuses more on "high-level" issues and actual systems; in this class, we will look "under the hood" to get a better understanding of various cryptographic primitives, algorithms, attacks, and protocols. Prerequisite: None
/45 contact hrs) The objectives of this course are to systematically study theories, principles and techniques of computer and network security. Students will learn basic cryptography, fundamentals of computer/network security, risks faced by computers and networks, security mechanisms, operating system security, secure systems design principles, and network security principles. Prerequisite: None
/45 contact hrs) This course focuses on computer and cyber forensics. Students will learn different aspects of computer and cyber-crime and ways in which to uncover, protect, exploit, and document digital evidence. Students will be exposed to different types of tools (both software and hardware), techniques and procedure, and be able to use them to perform rudimentary forensic investigations. Prerequisite: None
