CPE 668:Foundations of Cryptography
This course provides a broad introduction to cornerstones of security (authenticity, confidentiality, message integrity and non-repudiation) and the mechanisms to achieve them. Topics include: block and stream ciphers, secret-key and public-key systems, key management, public-key infrastructure (PKI), digital envelope, integrity and message authentication, digital signature and non-repudiation, trusted third party and certificates. Various security standards and protocols such as DES, PGP and Kerberos will be studied. The course includes a project and some lab experiments related to running, analyzing and comparing various security algorithms. |

CS 181:Introduction to Computer Science Honors I
Getting acquainted with C++: data types, input and output, functions, writing simple C++ programs, flow control, Boolean expressions, decision statements, if/then, and switch/case. Loop operations, while, do/while, and for loops. Arrays and pointers. Defining structs and classes, constructors and destructors, and operator overloading using an example String class. Templates. Abstract data types: vectors, lists, stacks, queues, and priority trees with applications. Trees and simple sorting with searching algorithms. By invitation only. Students who complete this class are exempt from CS 115 and CS 284. |

CS 578:Privacy in a Networked World
Increasing use of computers and networks in business, government,
recreation, and almost all aspects of daily life has led to a
proliferation of online sensitive data that, if used improperly, can
harm the data subjects. As a result, concern about the ownership,
control, privacy, and accuracy of these data has become a top priority.
This course focuses on both the technical challenges of handling
sensitive data and the policy and legal issues facing data subjects,
data owners, and data users. This course is suitable for advanced
undergraduate computer science majors, graduate students in computer
science, and students in technology management or other majors with
some computer science background. Course readings draw on a variety of
sources, including both technical materials and the popular press. |

CS 579:Foundations of Cryptography
This course provides a broad introduction to cornerstones of security
(authenticity, confidentiality, message integrity, and non-repudiation)
and the mechanisms to achieve them as well as the underlying
mathematical basics. Topics include: block and stream ciphers,
public-key systems, key management, certificates, public-key
infrastructure (PKI), digital signature, non-repudiation, and message
authentication. Various security standards and protocols such as DES,
AES, PGP, and Kerberos, are studied. |

CS 693:Cryptographic Protocols
This course covers the design and analysis of security protocols, and studies different attacks and defenses against them. Topics include: signature and authentication protocols, privacy, digital rights management, security protocols for wired, wireless and distributed networks, electronic voting, payment and micropayment protocols, anonymity, broadcast encryption and traitor tracing, quantum cryptography, and visual cryptography. The course includes a project. |
