Course Description

The goal of this course is to teach the basic concepts of information security. First we review the importance of information security and present some relevant background and history. We introduce some basic security terminology which will be used throughout the course. The next topic “informatics bestiarium” deals with the various threats to computer systems. A broad overview of malicious code, like viruses, worms and Trojan horses is presented. Next, an introduction to the basic principles of cryptography, like ciphers that use substitution and transposition is given. We will take a closer look at the ideas behind popular algorithms like RSA, DES, and AES. We take a look at public key infrastructures (PKI) and the use and principles of digital signatures. The responsibilities of certification authorities, the content of electronic certificates and the process of signing and verifying electronic documents are covered. For any multi-user computer system we are expecting certain basic security functionality, usually user identification and authentication, authorization and access control, and auditing. The course will give a brief overview of these services. Finally we will discuss “Internet security”. We investigate different algorithms and applications for providing security on the different levels of the ISO/OSI network model. A closer look is given to PGP and S/MIME which provide confidentiality and authentication services for electronic mail applications.
