Demonstrate How Security Protocols Are Used To Achieve Internet And E-Commerce Security.

Design and Analysis of Security Protocols (ISEC322)

This course provides the students with the necessary knowledge in the design, analysis, and evaluation of various security protocols and mechanisms, including but not limited to: basic symmetric and asymmetric cryptography protocols, SSL/TLS, WEP/WPA, IPSec, S/MIME, PGP, SSH, X.509 and Kerberos. A security protocol may fail in three ways: the protocol design may be flawed, the cryptography may be inadequate, or the implementation may be buggy. This course focuses on discussing the pros and cons of various security trade-offs involved in the design of internet protocols, identifies and describes vulnerabilities associated with such protocols, and describes the mitigations for these vulnerabilities.

Learning Outcomes

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

1. Analyze Vulnerabilities Associated With The Insecure Internet And E-Commerce Protocols.
2. Communicate Issues Relevant To Public-Key Infrastructure (Pki).
3. Demonstrate How Security Protocols Are Used To Achieve Internet And E-Commerce Security.
4. Describe The Internet And E-Commerce Security Protocols.
5. Explain The Concept Of Trust (And Trust Models) On The Internet Using Secure Internet Protocols.
