 This course provides a thorough understanding of the technical aspects of computer security. It covers network, operating system, and application software security. Computer laboratory projects provide exposure to various tools in a hands-on setting.
-Access Control - Identification, authentication, and authorization.
+Upon completion of the course the students should be able to:
-Network Security - attacks, intrusion detection, auditing, firewalls, packet monitoring and other tools/techniques for finding network security related problems.
+  * Explain popular operating systems, network, password-based, and application layer attacks
+  * Write intrusion detection signatures
-Operating System Security - threats, vulnerability scanning, password cracking, accounts and privileges
+  * Design and deploy security controls (e.g. firewalls, honeypot,password policy etc)
+  * Discover vulnerability in computer systems
-Application Software Security - design of secure systems, Java security, buffer overflows, database security, client-side and server-side securities, tamper resistant software, finding vulnerabilities.
+  * Analyze and alter network traffic
+  * Explain and identify different types of buffer overflow
