Course Details
This is a Bachelor degree lecture to introduce basic cryptographic methods and tools for securing communications networks. Class will cover topics from number theory and basic cryptography to communications protocol security. It is a hybrid course since it will have sufficient depth in theory as well as hands-on experience with the network protocols. After completion of this module students will have basic knowledge and experience in cryptographic methods and their theoretical background as well as in state of the art security problems and solutions for communications networks.
Language: English
Offered: Every Summer Semester
Trainer: Dr. Seyit Ahmet Camtepe
Office: TEL 1409 (Ernst-Reuter-Platz 7)
Office Hours: Wednesday 10:00AM – 12:00AM (Tentative)
Textbook: Following textbooks will be used in this class. Textbooks will be only the starting point for majority of topics that we will cover. The slides used will cover ideas from a broad range of sources including other books, papers, standard etc.
- Cryptography and Network Security, Ed. 4, by William Stallings
- Cryptography: Theory and Practice, Ed. 3 by Douglas R. Stinson
- Cryptography Demystified, by John E. Hershey
- Malicious Cryptography - Exposing Cryptovirology, by A. L. Young & M.Yung
- Various Conference Papers, Journals, Standard Specifications and RFCs
Grading: Exam at the end of semester will form ~60% of the lecture grade. Remaining ~40% of the lecture grade will be decided from overall course participation and a few assignments.
Prerequisites: Students required to have basic understanding of Computer Communications Networks, basic understanding of Operating Systems, and knowledge of a programming language (Java, C, C++, Perl).
Assignments: There will be few assignments that can be completed with the materials covered in class.
