Information and Network Security

Prerequisite: Students should be familiar with basic concepts of Software Flaws, Data Structures,
andMathematics including Random numbers, Number theory, and finite fields.

Rationale: This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of cryptography and its
applications on the network security domain as well as software development domain. This subject
covers various important topics concern to information security like symmetric and asymmetric
cryptography, hashing, message and user authentication, digital signatures, key distribution and
overview of the malware technologies. The subject also covers the applications of all of these in real life
situations.
