Synopsis:

The Information Security course provides a complete source of information on the field of security of information systems and information technologies. The most of information in today society is created, transferred, stored in electronic form so information security is very important part of it. Technical background for information security is provided by cryptology.

Requirements:

1. Knowledge of modular arithmetics and algebra.

2. ISO/OSI network model, knowledge of computer networks principles

3. Programming in high-level languages (Python, Java,C#...)

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to cryptology, historical overview

   2. Block ciphers

   3. Block ciphers modes of operation

   4. Stream ciphera

   5. Public key cryptosystems

   6. Hash functions

   7. Authentication protocols

   8. Virtual Private Networks - IPsec

   9. Cryptographic protocols - SSL / TLS, DTLS, SSH

  10. X.509 certificate, certificate authority public key infrastructure

  11. Securing e-mail communication - S / MIME, PGP

  12. Electronic signature, electronic identity

  13. APT (Advanced Persistent Threats)

  14. Laws and standards in the field of information security

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Introduction, passing conditions, health and safety regulations

2. Cryptanalysis of monoalplhabetic substitutions

3. Cryptanalysis of polyalphabetic substitutions
