CS 317 - Computer and Information Security Topics

This course will study several different cryptosystems that can be used to “hide secrets in plain sight”: mainly DES, RSA and AES. These techniques can also be applied to authenticating individuals over the Internet as well as maintaining confidentiality and guaranteeing the integrity of the information being communicated. Other topics concerning computer and network security will be addressed as time permits.
