CS 50010 - Foundational Principles Of Information Security
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course covers foundational principles relevant to information security including data structures, algorithm design, computational complexity, probability theory, number theory, and basics of cryptography. This course is restricted to CS graduate students. This course is required for students in the Master of Science in Computer Science Concentration in Information Security for Professionals Program. The course may not be used on the Plan of Study for any CS graduate students other than those in the Concentration in Information Security for Professionals program. Programming experience and computer science knowledge equivalent to that of a minor in CS. Incoming students are expected to have programming skills in at least one procedural programming languages, e.g., C,C++,Java, or Python.
Learning Outcomes
1. Identify and explain the basic data structures.
2. Identify and explain algorithm design techniques.
3. Explain computational complexity and decidability concepts and their relevance to information security.
4. Apply basic probability tools to analyze problems involving uncertainty and randomness.
5. Explain basic concepts of modular arithmetic and their application to cryptography.
