Course Description & Syllabus |
This course discusses extensions to notions of traditional computer security to include current advancements and issues related to commerce and business conducted over nonproprietary networks. We will specifically concentrate on the Internet as the medium of choice. We will discuss issues of secrecy, integrity and availability; threats, vulnerability, control and attacks; encryption and decryption; digital certificates and signatures; non-repudiation; and legal differences between e-commerce and traditional commerce. This course will address e-commerce as well as the architectural differences that determine particular security solutions.
