Description:As the world becomes increasingly dependent on digital communications, computing, and information, the need for robust cyber security becomes ever more paramount. Within this context, cryptography becomes an indispensable component of any cyber security system. The purpose of this course is to equip cyber security professionals with a firm understanding of cryptographic principles and applications and how cryptography can be used to secure, protect, and safeguard the organization's communications and information. Students will survey the history of cryptography, the evolution of cryptographic algorithms including important symmetric and asymmetric approaches, hashing, authentication and digital signatures, mutual trust, public key infrastructure, key management, user authentication, and cryptographic attacks. Particular focus will be placed on the integration of cryptography within the organization's IT infrastructure to include IPSec; email, wireless, and data encryption and how to analyze, support, and present the business case for cryptography in the IT enterprise. NOTE: Although cryptography is a mathematically intense discipline, the course will be taught from a managerial perspective. As such, the course is self-contained mathematically and students are not required to have an extensive math background although some college-based coursework is recommended.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
