Week 2. Administrative measures, risk management, security norms. Security policies and procedures. Audit.

Week 3. Single key cryptography I: Examination of classical techniques.

Week 4. Single key cryptography II: Examination of classical techniques (cont.).

Week 5. Single key cryptography III: Examination of modern techniques.

Week 6. Asymmetrical cryptography systems I: Design principles, number theory.

Week 7. Asymmetrical cryptography systems I: Key management.

Week 8. Mid-term exam

Week 9. Asymmetrical cryptography systems II: Hash functions, digital signatures.

Week 10. Asymmetrical cryptography systems III: Identity tests with digital signatures.

Week 11. Network security: E-mail security, firewalls.

Week 12. Network security: IP security.

Week 13. Security of web applications.

Week 14. Security in the systems of cloud computing
