The course is focused on current issues in computer and network security. There are discussed security issues of the electronic information from the perspective of ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and nonrepudiation of the information.

The course is a natural continuation of the discipline of “Cryptography” and addresses from practical perspective of the cryptographic techniques and protocols (authentication, secret sharing, key exchange, subliminal channels), with applications in e-mail security, IP security, Web security and security of computer network (protected by firewall, IDS, IPS devices and antivirus protection techniques). Also, the course presents principles used in security evaluation of cryptographic modules, products and applications derived from industrial security standards: Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (ISO 19790) and Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (ISO 15408).
