(Cs 021/tit 701) Cryptography and Network Security

This document outlines the units of a cryptography and network security course. Unit I introduces security attacks and mechanisms, as well as conventional encryption techniques like substitution and transposition ciphers. Unit II covers the mathematical foundations for public key cryptography including prime numbers, modular arithmetic, and discrete logarithms. Unit III discusses message authentication codes, hash functions, and digital signatures. Unit IV presents authentication applications such as Kerberos and digital signature standards. Unit V covers IP security, web security including SSL/TLS, and system security threats like firewalls and viruses.
