What's inside

Four courses

Design and Analyze Secure Networked Systems

In this MOOC, we will learn the basic cyber security concepts, how to identify vulnerabilities and threats in a network system. We will apply CIA basic security services in the triage of recent cyberattack incidents, such as the OPM data breach. We will learn the risk management framework for analyzing the risks in a network system, and apply the basic security design principles to protect the data and secure computer systems.

Basic Cryptography and Programming with Crypto API

In this MOOC, we will learn the basic concepts and principles of cryptography, apply basic cryptoanalysis to decrypt messages encrypted with mono-alphabetic substitution cipher, and discuss the strongest encryption technique of the one-time-pad and related quantum key distribution systems.

Hacking and Patching

Secure Networked System with Firewall and IDS

In this course, we will focus on securing network systems with firewalls and IDS. This includes understanding network security basics, constructing a dual-firewall DMZ, and defining security policies. We will also delve into the Linux firewall and explore Network IDS and Host IDS, including Snort.
