CS6701 Syllabus Cryptography and Network Security

The document outlines the syllabus for a course on cryptography and network security. It is divided into 5 units that cover topics such as number theory, block ciphers, public key cryptography, hash functions and digital signatures, security practices, and security for email, IP, and the web. Some of the algorithms and protocols discussed include DES, AES, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, MD5, SHA, IPsec, SSL/TLS, and SET. The syllabus aims to introduce students to both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of cryptography for securing networks and transactions.
