Course content
Cryptography; symmetric and public-key, cryptographic protocols, key distribution, authentication, digital signatures. Network security; access control, services and mechanisms for authentication, network security protocols, application layer security.
Learning outcome
A. Knowledge: To get a basic understanding of principles and practice of cryptography and network security by gaining knowledge in four broad categories: 1) cryptographic algorithms; 2) techniques and algorithms for key management, key distribution and user authentication; 3) use of cryptographic algorithms in network protocols and network applications. 4) techniques for securing computers against intruders and malicious software. B. Skills: 1) To be able to evaluate security of systems with respect to appropriate use of security services and mechanisms; 2) To be able to design basic security architectures through selection and integration of relevant security components.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, practical work and exercises.
Further on evaluation
Two assessments provide the basis for the final grade in the course, a portfolio and a written final exam that count for 40 and 60% of the final grade, respectively. Both parts must be passed in order to pass the course. The results for each of the parts are given with a letter grade. The portfolio includes practical work and online quizzes. The written exam is given only in English. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral exam. If a student also after the re-sit exam has the final grade F/failed, the student must repeat the entire course. Also in the case a student wants to try to improve his/her grade, he/she must repeat both assessments.
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic knowledge in discrete mathematics and algebra (e.g. TMA4140 Discrete Mathematics) and data communications (e.g. TTM4200 Computer Networks).
