On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:


a) Cite the need for information security.
b) To provide basic understanding of security threats and vulnerabilities of
computing system.
c) To provide basic understanding of classical encryption Techniques:
Substitution, Transposition and product Ciphers.
d) Examination of conventional encryption algorithms and design principles
including transposition and substitution techniques such as DES.
e) To provide basic understanding of the modern encryption technique such
as RSA.
f) Develop efficient algorithms for manipulating encryption techniques such
as ( Key distribution, digital signature, identification and authentication,
and secret sharing keys ) in which we use encryption algorithm and how
to implements them.
g) To provide basic understanding of backup, auto save, and recovery.
