COURSE SYLLABUS CIS 4362 / CIS 5357: Network
Security Fall Semester 2007 |
Course Objective:
The goal of this course is to
provide students with an understanding of fundamental network security concepts
and mechanisms, and develop and illustrate the use of cryptography in achieving
network security. The student should
gain an understanding of how to design and build secure network algorithms and
environments. The student should also
gain an understanding of network security as it relates to the TCP/IP protocol
suite at a detailed level.
Course Description:
This course will survey network security from a
computer science perspective. We will
study basic aspects such as network security services and mechanisms, use of
cryptography for implementing network security, and security functionality such
as authentication, data integrity, confidentiality and availability. We will cover needed aspects of secret key
and public key cryptography, as well as public key infrastructure. We will explore various TCP/IP protocols used
in the network security context. We will
also briefly cover firewalls and intrusion detection systems and possibly other
related topics as time permits.

POLICIES:
ACADEMIC HONOR CODE:
Students are expected to uphold the Academic Honor Code published in The Florida State University Bulletin and the Student Handbook. The Academic Honor System of The Florida State University is based on the premise that each student has the responsibility (1) to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the student's own work, (2) to refuse to tolerate violations of academic integrity in the university community, and (3) to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the part of the university community.
Please see the
following web sites for a complete explanation of the Academic Honor Code.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT:
Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation
should:
(1) register with and provide documentation to the
(2) bring a letter to the instructor indicating the need for accommodation and
what type. This should be done during the first week of class.
