Objectives
The objective of the course is to provide an introduction to
the basic concepts of computer security. The course contents
include: security concepts, such as confidentiality, integrity,
authenticity, availability etc. Symmetric and asymmetric
cryptography and their uses; key distribution and digital
signatures; discretionary and mandatory access control
policies for confidentiality and integrity. Communication
protocols for authentication, confidentiality and message
integrity. Network security; system security, intrusion
detection and malicious code. Security models and security
evaluation. Administration of security. Legal aspects of
computer security.
Course Format
The course is given as a combination of lectures, given by the
course lecturers and invited speakers from industry, exercises
and practical laboratory work.
Lectures
Lectures will primarily be based on the text book by
C. P. Pfleeger & S. L. Pfleeger: "Security in
Computing", third edition, Prentice Hall, 2003
(Copies are available at Polyteknisk Boghandel,) but other
material may be included, which will then be made available on
the web.
Laboratory Work
The laboratory work consists of a number of small assignments,
most of them mandatory, which will take place in the databars.
These assignments are designed to provide hands-on experience
with different security technologies and will typically
involve a limited programming exercise, which will be
documented through a small report (4-8 pages).
