| This course is the next step beyond the prerequisite course, Computer Security. Given the security concepts and building blocks developed in the former course, this course both explores these previous topics in greater depth and covers additional topics. Topics will include advanced cryptography, single sign on leveraging directories,wireless network security, firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection and prevention systems, and other security technologies. There is significant coverage of application security issues (buffer overrun, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.) as well. In addition, this course utilizes a computer security lab for hands-on exercises that reinforce the material and covers weekly current events in computer security. Prerequisites: SEIS 720, SEIS 645 and SEIS 635 required; SEIS 640 recommended |
