Information Systems Security Management 533 ISSM533
Cryptology and Secure Network Communications 3 (3-0-0-0-0)

This course in cryptography focuses on securing data through symmetric and asymmetric 'public key' cryptographic algorithms, access control, hashing, digital signature, and key distribution using best practices for secure communications. Students assess and evaluate cryptographic systems and how they can be incorporated into an information security system and the security plan for the enterprise. Students implement secure sites 'on web servers' that require a secure sockets layer for secure transactions. Emerging trends in encryption, such as lightweight and post-quantum cryptography, are discussed to prepare students for the ongoing changes which will be required to keep ahead of hackers.

Note: Open only to students in the Graduate Diploma in Information Assurance, Graduate Diploma in Information Security, Master of Information Systems Assurance Management, or Master of Information System Security Management programs.
