Computer Security I  Threats Eavesdropping Impersonation Forgery Intrusion  Countermeasures Encryption Authentication Integrity protection Access control  Success of Internet means huge numbers of computers attached to it Can be attacked from afar Need to resist attackers

Topics  Basic concepts of cryptography and network security  Modern symmetric-key encryption algorithms  Public-key cryptosystems  Key management  Authentication and digital signature  Methodology of writing secure code  Students will implement encryption and authentication algorithms as network applications  Industrial strength socket programming Current Project
