95-830 Introduction to Computer and Communications Security

• 12 units

The growth of networks and distributed systems, and their use to support critical applications, has made computer and communications security a central issue for systems today. This course will introduce students to the technical foundations of computer and communications security. These foundations will be illustrated using deployed systems as case studies, where appropriate. The course will assume a basic working knowledge of computers and networks, but will not assume any prior exposure to topics in computer or communications security.

NOTE: Introduction to Computer and Communications Security is a new course that will be offered by ECE faculty. A course number has not yet been assigned. The course description for this course was provided by ECE faculty member Michael Reiter.
