Other instructors: You may contact me at any time using social media, like Facebook and contacts The course have some shareware programs, it is the student responsibility to use the tools according to the package instructions and limitations Every student is expected to completely adhere to the assignments and project strict deadlines, absolutely no exceptions will be given. No makeup exams will be given. University Regulations should be respected 18. Course Description: As stated in the approved study plan. This course explains Security protocols, authentication protocols, data integrity, digital signatures, intrusion detection, key management and distribution, viruses and other malicious codes, information flow, mobile code and agent security. Cryptographic algorithms: Secret Key Encryption (DES), Public Key Encryption (RSA), Message Digest Algorithm (MD5); Attacks and countermeasures: Packet sniffing, Spoofing and denial of service; Application layer security: HTTPS, secure ; Transport layer security: TLS, SSL; Network layer security: IP security 1

3 (IPSec), AH protocol, ESP protocol; access control and Firewalls: Filter-based firewalls, Proxybased firewalls; wireless networks security, security in IEEE , WEP protocol, EAP protocol. 19. Course aims and outcomes: A- Aims: Enable students to understand the computer methods of security and cryptography. Students learn introduction to computer security, aspects of security, threats and method of data protections, encryption and decryption methods, authentication systems, data integrity and digital signature. B- Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to A- Knowledge and Understanding: Students should A1) Learn the basic concepts involved with computer security. A2) Understand the importance of having a secure network. A3) Understand the features of cryptographic systems. B- Intellectual skills: with the ability to B1) Analyze and compare the advantages/disadvantages of different security mechanisms and iden the set of security services they can provide. B2) Classify different types of security attacks B3) Design a new simple security protocol. B4) Identify the security protocols applied in different network layers. C- Subject specific skills with ability to C1) Work in different case studies to show how the objectives of different security requirements can achieved. C2) Implement practical security protocols using suitable programming languages. D- Transferable skills with ability to D1) Discuss and work in a group in order to design and write the specification of a new security prot D2) Work in groups in order to implement security programs that adhere to the specification of the n designed security protocol. D3) Work with other groups to make different implementations for the same security protocol specification and communicate successfully. D4) Present the final work (project) and make a demo. 20.
