Cryptography and Network Security
Instructor : Mahalingam Ramkumar
Overview :Computer networks are vital infrastructures needed for our day to day
lives. Our increasing reliance on computers and networks of computers
calls for robust measures to secure this infrastructure from malicious
intents.
Present day networks face continuous threats from hackers. An
understanding of the potential perils, and the strengths and
limitations of existing solutions to this problem is relevant not only
for students specializing in
security, but for every person for whom a computer is an indispensable
part of life.
Cryptography, once considered to be solely restricted to the realm of
spies and secret service agencies, is an increasingly important
building block for realizing computer and network security. An
understanding of the principles of cryptography is therefore essential
for comprehending approaches to realize secure networks.
The course will introduce private and public key encryption, key
distribution (Kerberos, public key infrastructure), cryptographic hash
functions, digital signatures, IP Security, Secure Socket Layer, WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy
for wireless networks), intrusion detection, Firewalls, denial of
service, spam, email viruses, phishing, and an overview of many attacks
that the Internet has experienced, especially in the last decade.
