Prerequisites
At least one course in basic computer science, and some knowledge on operating systems and computer communications.Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to describe safety issues arising from the use of computers and modern network technologies, and the opportunities to protection available today. This means that after completing this course the student is expected to be able to:
- Describe the principles and possibilities of how security can be built into computers and networks, both at the component and system level
- Explain the concept that confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) of information and its use in data security
- Describe the common security protocols in network communications
- Describe the usual models of access control and user authentication
- Describe the use of cryptography-based tools
Course content
Structure and terminology of the subject. Authentication of user identity. Theory and practice for access control. Formal security models. Cryptology and its use in security tools. Security problems, tools, protocols and solutions in networks and distributed systems. Security in specific systems such as databases. Security management.
