Define Solutions To Defend Against Viruses And Other Malicious Programs.

Security Principles & Practice (ITBP301)

This course provides an overview of information security. It is designed to help students understand this important priority in society today. The content of the course gives a broad overview of essential concepts and methods for providing and evaluating security in information processing systems (e.g. operating systems and applications, networks, protocols). The course will be organized around a few themes: foundations (security mindset, essential concepts: e.g. policy, CIA), authentication and access control, software security (e.g. vulnerabilities and protections, malware, program analysis), practical cryptography (e.g. encryption, authentication, hashing, symmetric and asymmetric crypto), networks (e.g. wired and wireless networks, protocols, attacks and countermeasures).

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to :

1. Analyze Security Threats And Vulnerabilities In Computer Systems.
2. Define Solutions To Defend Against Viruses And Other Malicious Programs.
3. Describe Cryptographic Techniques And Their Applications.
4. Discuss Operating System Security Models And Mechanisms.
5. Explain Security Policies, Models, And Mechanisms.
