Description
The course covers computer security, focusing in particular on the security aspects of cryptography and the network protocol. It surveys cryptographic algorithms used to secure the packet information sending through the internet. The cryptographic algorithm such as symmetric key encryption, public key encryption, key exchange, and digital signature are introduced in order to understand the cryptographic functionalities. It then reviews how these algorithms are utilized in the internet protocols and applications such as SSL/TLS, IPSEC, PGP, and others.
