COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

1	Explain concepts related to applied cryptography, including plaintext, ciphertext, symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, and digital signatures.
2	Theory behind the security of different cryptographic algorithms.
3	Explain common network vulnerabilities and attacks, defense mechanisms against network attacks, and cryptographic protection mechanisms.
4	Outline the requirements and mechanisms for identification and authentication. Identify the possible threats to each mechanism and ways to protect against these threats.
5	Explain the requirements of real-time communication security and issues related to the security of web services.
6	Explain the requirements of non-realtime security (email security) and ways to provide privacy, source authentication, message integrity, non-repudiation, proof of submission, proof of delivery, message flow confidentiality, and anonymity.
