CSE 4243/6243 Information and Computing Security
This is a course that looks at the various issues surrounding the provision of computer security in today's computing environment. It is a survey course designed to provide an overview of the security problem, the technical aspects of security, how it relates to operating systems, database, networks, management controls, electronic commerce, and programming environments. Encryption techniques are discussed and protocols that use encryption are described. It is not a hacker course and does not teach system penetration – other than from the defensive point of view. Students are expected to conduct some independent research in the class.
CSE 4273/6273 Computer Crime and Forensics
Computer crime and computer forensics are areas of study that are rapidly growing in importance and visibility. With the increased ease with which an unscrupulous person can access the internet and commit crimes with and against computers, and the increased emphasis on homeland defense in this country, there is a growing need for computer science and software engineering graduates with the skills to investigate these crimes. This course will introduce the topics of computer crime and computer forensics. Students will be required to learn different aspects of computer crime and ways in which to uncover, protect and exploit digital evidence. Students will be exposed to different types of tools, both software and hardware, and be able to use them to perform rudimentary investigations.
CSE 4990/6990 Network Security and Cryptography
Present day networks face continuous threats from hackers. An
understanding of the potential perils, and the strengths and
limitations of existing solutions to this problem is relevant not only
for students specializing in security, but for every person for whom a
computer is an indispensable part of life.This course introduces private
and public key encryption, key distribution (Kerberos, public key
infrastructure), cryptographic hash functions, digital signatures, IP
Security, Secure Socket Layer, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy for
wireless networks), intrusion detection, Firewalls, denial of service,
spam, email viruses, phishing, and an overview of many attacks that the
Internet has experienced, especially in the last decade.
CSE 8990 Special Topics in Information Assurance
This is a course that looks at the various current research issues
surrounding the provision of computer security in today's computing
environment. It is a course designed to provide an appreciation for
current information assurance research topics, unsolved problems, and
the current state of the science. Students will be expected to
discover new papers, present those papers, lead discussions in class,
and to work toward a publishable research paper on a security topic.
This is not a lecture course - it is a discussion group with shared
responsibility. There will be some work required in the Security Lab.
BIS 4113/6113 Business Information Systems Security Management
This is a course focused on business information security. Students are
expected to be able to evaluate and choose computer security equipment,
and to be able to configure the equipment based on business information
security requirements. Attention is given to the plan-protect-respond
cycle of infomation secuinformationplication security, incident and
disaster response, and management of the security function are covered
along with an overview of the technical background that is needed to
undergird business information security. Graduate students are expected
to conduct independent research in the course.
BIS 4753 Structured Systems Analysis and Design
This undergraduate course is focused on business information systems
analysis and design. It covers the process of planning, analysis,
design, and implementation of modern information systems within the
organizational context, and also exposes students to rapid prototyping
techniques, project management, and related topics. System security
management principles are stressed throughout the design life cycle,
with specific emphasis on front-end (user-oriented) security features
of databases and interfaces. Teams develop logical system designs that
include details for user and database security.
BIS 4763/6763 E-Commerce Seminar
This course examines key issues in the ecommerce environment including
business models, Internet marketing, on-line monetary transactions, and
legal, ethical and social issues of electronic commerce.An overview of
computer and network security is presented and students examine phishing
attacks, spoofed email, SQL-injection, and privacy violations. Students
are required to build a web site supported by shopping cart and database
technology. The site is built after examination of the privacy and
security features that are implemented in the popular e-commerce sites.
BIS 8213 Advanced Systems Analysis and Design
This graduate course is an in-depth exploration business information
systems development, with a focus on the management of processes
including in-house development, rapid prototyping, and contractual
outsourcing. Within this context, attention is given to the establishment
of a proactive security perspective for all elements of system development,
starting with vulnerability assessment. Individual students present
reports on security management approaches and technologies. Teams develop
detailed logical system designs that include details for system security.
