Department: PhD in Computer Science
Module Description: This module provides students with an opportunity to gain an in depth understanding of the theories and issues on the network and data security. In addition to covering network and data security technologies, such as cryptography, operating systems security, malicious software’s, denial of services, and intrusion detection systems. The course will cover network and data security is design in (firewalls , intrusion prevention system, malicious programs immune systems and Malicious Program Detection System (MPDS)), and analysed (access control, security issues and threats). Students will also learn about the analysis the main challenges faced when dealing with security assessment. Practical case studies will be used for illustration.
