Department: PhD in Computer Science
Module Description: The study of theory, design and analysis of efficient algorithms is an important component and core module of computer network and data security from the perspective of a system administrator and a penetration tester. The key objective of this module is introduce to computer network security and practical cryptography analysis and important concepts that are essential to operating systems security.
The other objective is to make students aware of various techniques used to evaluate the efficiency of some important class of malicious software’s, denial of services and intrusion detection systems.
Students would eventually learn to design of firewalls and intrusion prevention system, access control, security issues and threats.
It outlines efforts intended to make future security systems safe, predictable, and revolvable. Finally, it covers security issues and threats, and security assessment for their research studies and would also be able to critically analyse other people’s work in this area.
