Annotation
The Information Security course provides a complete source of information on the field of security of information systems and information technologies. The most of information in today society is created, transferred, stored in electronic form so information security is very important part of it. Technical background for information security is provided by cryptology.
Study targets
Students acquire comprehensive overview on cryptography and network security. They'll study in detail principles of modern symmetric key and public key cryptosystems, hash functions as well as various security protocols and its usage in modern communication networks.
