Course Summary
This course for the non-specialist describes the technology
underlying secure transactions and safe interactions in a public Internet
and wireless world. Related policy, economic and social issues are also
discussed. Humans interact daily with each other, with information, and
with services through cyberspace. We discuss cyber security needs such
as confidentiality, data integrity, user authentication, trust, non-repudiation,
availability, privacy and anonymity. Topics may include case studies in
denial of service attacks, viruses and worms, digital rights management,
surveillance and cyber-terrorism.
The course gives a broad survey of cyber security
technology and related issues. It is suitable for all students who are
curious about their own safety in Internet transactions, what security
technologies can provide and the interactions of policy and social issues
with technology issues in cyberspace. Since so much of modern society involves
cyberspace interactions, it seems important for everyone to be cognizant
of security implications in his daily activities.
