This course discusses Information Security Protocols. The course provides an overview of various security protocols and current technology used in protocols. In this course, the students will focus on the protocols that provide confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data such as X.509 public-key infrastructure (PKI), the IP security protocol at the network layer (IPsec), the secure sockets layer protocol at the transport layer (SSL/TLS), and several application-layer security protocols. The students will be able to implement different secure protocols and use secure communication tools such as SSL, VPN, and SSH to assure secure data communications.
