This course will cover fundamental principles of computer security. The course consists of two parts:
CS 360 (concurrent) or Instructor Consent
Student learning activities consist of exams, homework, and hands-on programming projects.
Projects:
Each week that a project is assigned, it is due before midnight on Friday. Students are encouraged to meet project deadlines. I want to see all students complete every lab by the end of the semester. As an incentive to help you stay current, late days and early days (maximum of 5) for each project will be recorded (weekends and university holidays excluded). A total of five (5) free early days for the semester will be given. At the end of the semester, you will receive a penalty if your late day balance exceeds your early day balance. Your overall project points may be penalized up to 2% for each late day on your final balance. If all projects are completed, the penalty for late days will be capped at 10% so that your grade is reduced by a maximum of one letter grade.
Project Pass-off Policies
Homework:
Homework is due on Tuesday at the beginning of class. Submit it online in LearningSuite before it is due.
Submitted homework must be one of the following file types: .doc .docx .pdf .txt - Don't make us have to work hard
to read your assignments. Code can be submitted as .zip or .tar.gz
Grading: Each homework is worth 25 points
Late Homework Policy:
Study Habits
Successful students attend class regularly and complete assignments on time. Students are encouraged to work together in groups to discuss topics and assignments. A good rule of thumb is that only your hands should be on the keyboard when you are entering your solution. Do not share your work with any other students in the class or with students in a future class.
Learning Outcomes
1) Build a system: Implement a cryptographic algorithm from a standards specification.
2) Break and fix a system: Demonstrate how attackers compromise real-world systems, and then show how to prevent these attacks.
