...is compulsory. (See the Student Charter.) Make sure you scan your card. Tutorials: Normally on Tuesday afternoon. The tutorials will be in groups of about 20. They form an integral part of the course and attendance is compulsory. They start in Week 1. Set work Work will be set by the lecturer weekly on Monday at the 2pm lecture. It will be already available on VITAL from the previous Friday. The set work consist of two very similar parts: • set C – for solving and detailed discussion at the coming Tuesday tutorial, and • set H – written solutions to which you should hand to your MATH103 tutor by 4 pm next Thursday. All the problems are to be studied before the Tuesday tutorial. Your submitted solutions are marked by your tutor and handed back the following Tuesday; the lecturer’s solutions are available online the same day. Web publications All module materials will be available on VITAL as soon as they are needed in the class. Hard copies of some houndouts will also be distributed, but only once. Closer to the end of the semester, past papers will be put on VITAL. Class Tests There will be one class test during the module; the date will be announced at least a week in advance. Examinations The course will be assessed by a single 2 1 hour examination paper in January. Your perfor2 mance at the tutorial classes (including a mini-project consisting of 5 extra individual problems) contribute 10% to the final assessment (key skills).

...CIS4361C IT Security Course Syllabus Version 1 FALL 2015 Course Description This course introduces students to information security. Security often involves social and organizational skills as well as technical understanding. In order to solve the practical security problems, we must balance real-world risks and rewards against the cost and bother of available security techniques. During this course we will use continuous process improvement to investigate these elements. Security is a very broad field. Some people may excel in the technical aspects, while others may do better in more social or process-oriented aspects. Others will successfully succeed between these poles. This course applies to all students, and help you find where you will excel. To learn a solid understanding of security technology, look must look closely at the underlying strengths and weakness of information technology itself. This requires particularly in cryptography (diagram or in mathematical notation). The book will use both, but is bias toward diagrams. Prerequisites COP2253 Java Programming or COP2830 Script Programming Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: * Describe the common treats of information and communication systems * Identify safeguards for securing data and systems * Gather and analyze digital evidence after a security breach * Develop an IT security program based upon a risk assessment Course Objectives ...
