COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of network
security and cryptography. It explores the fundamental concepts of data protection, secure
communication, and cryptographic algorithms. Students will learn about various threats to
computer networks and the methods used to prevent and mitigate them. Topics include
symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, key management,
authentication protocols, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and VPNs.
.
PRE-REQUISITES FOR THE COURSE:

Students are expected to have knowledge on the following topics:

S. No Topic
1 Student will be able to understand basic cryptographic algorithms, message and web
authentication and security issues.
2 Ability to identify information system requirements for both of them such as client and
server
3 Ability to understand the current legal issues towards information security

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Explain the importance and application of each of confidentiality, integrity, authentication

1
and availability Understand various cryptographic algorithms

2 Understand the basic categories of threats to computers and networks

3 Describe public-key cryptosystem
4 Describe the enhancements made to IPv4 by IPSec
 5 Understand Intrusions and intrusion detection

COURSE OUTCOMES:
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
Explain the basic concepts of network security, security threats, and
CO1
cryptographic principles.
Apply symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms (DES, AES, RSA,
CO2
etc.) for secure communication
