Course Information
Intended learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to give an introduction to some basic aspects of cybersecurity, these include cryptography, protocols, system security and network security.
Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools
There are pre-recorded videos available, together with slides, as preparation for the interactive slots. During the interactive slots, students will present solutions to exercises, we reserve time to answer student questions, and we bring in external experts from industry and academia.
Course content
This course will cover commonly used cryptographic primitives and their role in information and communication security, security notions of cryptographic designs/schemes, ideas of secure computation, introductionto system security, introduction to network security and introduction to secure communication protocol.
Prior knowledge expected
Students need to be able to do basic maths (algebra, probability) and have some understanding of computing/networking. If in doubt, please at least watch some of the videos of "This is CS50" (DuckDuckGo will direct you to the right corner of the Internet).
But the course is self-contained, so we cover what we need along the way, this is also why there are no prerequisites.
