3 Credits
This course presents cryptography as the essential tool for private communications over an unsecured, public medium such as the Internet. Cryptography is shown as the enabling technology for e-commerce, virtual private networks (VPNs), and secure operating systems. Major topics of the course include cryptographic algorithms, certificates, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Other areas of interest include authentication, confidentiality, nonrepudiation, secret key cryptography, public key cryptography, digital certificates, ciphers, and digital signatures.
