Cyber Security Fundamentals

This module aims to explain the fundamental cryptographic primitives and core concepts of computer and network security such as symmetric-key and public-key encryption, digital signatures and secure hash functions; It emphasizes on the principles of secure protocol design, selection and practice using standard cryptographic primitives, developing student’s cyber security knowledge through the principles, practices and tools of secure system development based on standard security protocols and primitives; The module further explains how to analyse different security problems, generating security requirements that lead to the development of an appropriate secure IoT system.
