Security is widely recognized as being of great importance in all areas of information technology: networks, operating systems, databases etc. Security is about regulating access to assets. Crucial questions are: Who are you? and: Should you be doing that? Authentication (of people and computers) and access control are basic aspects of computer security. Cryptography provides a mathematical toolset for realising key security goals, via appropriate protocols. This bachelor lecture introduces the basics of computer security. It is the first semester course for the computer science curriculum, but the course is can be followed by students from other disciplines (artifical intelligence, mathematics, physics, economics, psychology etc) as well, when they have some basic knowledge and interest in computer science. |
