Welcome to ECE 409 Cryptography and System Security! In this course, starting by introducing  some known attacks, we’ll dive into core concepts like cryptographic algorithms, trust and threat models, and types of attacks. You’ll gain hands-on knowledge of symmetric- and public-key cryptography, understand how pseudorandomness and computational security are used   in the design of cryptographic algorithms, and learn to think adversarially  about modern cyber systems. This course is designed to help you see how theoretical concepts translate into real-world applications...

This course focuses on the  fundamental principles of how to  secure computer networks. The topics to be covered include applied cryptography, encryption and authentication, semantic security, attack analysis, network security protocols, wireless  security, implementations and side-channel attacks,    trusted platform, advanced cryptographic algorithms, and applications of IoT, blockchain, and privacy preserving machining learning.
