The course investigates deeply the security platforms and architecture associated with different cloud computing deployment models. Students have to examine the concerns, incidents, vulnerabilities, the corresponding security issues due to virtualization and the use of hypervisors and virtual machines. The course has to emphasize on the countermeasures correlated with the virtualized environments

This‬ course‬ targets‬ building‬ advanced‬ knowledge‬ and‬ experience‬ in‬ the‬ applied‬ domains‬ of‬ cryptography‬ and‬ its‬ future‬ trends‬ and‬ algorithms.‬ The‬ course‬ should‬ span‬ deeply‬ the‬ most‬ popular‬ crypt analytic ‬techniques.‬ Students ‬must ‬build‬ experience ‬and‬ gain‬ understanding ‬of ‬the‬ practical‬ and‬ applied‬ aspects‬ of‬ the‬ cryptographic‬ engineering‬ techniques‬ and

Network ‬security‬ is‬ one‬ of ‬the ‬ever-evolving‬ domains ‬of ‬research.‬ The‬ course‬ has ‬to ‬go ‬deeply‬ into ‬large ‬scale‬ network‬ attacks‬ and ‬its‬ direct‬ and‬ indirect ‬impacts.‬ Students‬ have ‬to ‬examine ‬in‬ full‬ details‬ the ‬DoS,‬DDoS,‬Malware-based‬ attacks,‬penetration ‬testing‬ methodologies,‬ network‬ monitoring, ‬and‬ bot net‬ detection.‬ The‬ course ‬also‬ targets

In‬ this‬ course,‬ students‬ go‬ deeply‬ into‬ the‬ different‬ digital‬ cyber crime ‬scenes‬ and‬ scenarios; ‬from‬ the‬ criminal‬ and‬ the‬ victim(s)‬ perspectives.‬ The‬ course‬ analyses‬ the‬ vulnerability‬ foundation,‬ traditional‬ causes,‬ system‬ strengths‬ and‬ weaknesses,‬ counter measures,‬ and‬ prevention‬ and‬ protection ‬techniques. ‬Human‬ vulnerabilities,‬ insider‬ threat ‬and

The‬ course‬ covers‬ the‬ necessary‬ capabilities‬ for‬ forensic‬ analysts‬ and‬ incident‬ responders‬ to‬ identify‬ and‬ counter‬ a‬ wide‬ range‬ of‬ threats‬ within‬ enterprise‬ networks,‬ including‬ economic‬ espionage,‬ hacktivism,‬ and‬ financial‬ crime‬ syndicates.‬ The‬ course‬ will‬ consist‬ of‬ in-class‬ presentations,‬ workshops ‬and ‬interactive‬d discussions‬ about‬ research ‬papers.

This‬ advanced‬ course‬ introduces‬ students‬ to‬ the‬ most‬ prominent‬ and‬ powerful‬ attack‬ vectors,‬ allowing‬ students‬ to‬ perform‬ these‬ attacks‬ in‬ a‬ variety‬ of‬ hands-on‬ scenarios.‬ The‬ course‬ includes‬ research ‬seminars ‬covering‬ foundational ‬work‬ and‬ current‬ topics‬ in‬ penetration‬ testing‬ and‬ ethical‬ hacking.‬ Students‬ will‬ read‬ and‬ discuss ‬published‬ research

The course examines security platforms and concerns related to cyber physical systems with emphasis on the industrial control systems such as SCADA systems. The course explores the industrial cyber security threats, corresponding networking architecture, control systems, design, protocols, and governing modules. Students have to investigate different security threats to different cyber-physical

This ‬course‬ examines ‬in‬ depth ‬the ‬operating ‬systems’ ‬structuring,‬ design ‬and‬ implementation‬ concepts. ‬It‬ emphasizes on the possible attack scenarios and vulnerabilities in distributed systems, scheduling in parallel systems, grid systems, parallel computing, virtualization, hypervisors and virtual machines, and defense-in-depth concepts in virtualized environment.

The course examines the security issues of the classical versus virtualized data centers. Students have to go in depth into the hypervisor architectures, virtual machine construction and specifications, VM status, VM templates, the related security concerns, securing VM to VM traffic, securing hypervisor kernels and VMMs, virtual firewalls, virtualized networking environment, security incidents

The course covers securing software design, development and implementation, defense in depth, multi tier architecture, attacks to APIs, code vulnerability, data validation, SQL injection, data storage, encryption and decryption, error handling and logging, sessions hijacking, threat modeling and/or threat 54 trees, risk analysis, management, mitigation and countermeasures.
