DESCRIPTION
The course is divided into the following modules:
A. Understanding Cryptographic primitives
1. Confidentiality, Integrity and Authentication (CIA) properties
2. Symmetric/asymmetric/stream ciphers
3. Digital certificates/signatures
4. Cryptographic hash Functions
5. OpenSSL engineering
B. Understanding (and avoiding) low-level bugs
1. Process memory layout
2. Buffer overflows
3. Integer overflow/format strings
4. Bug detection and mitigation
5. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL)
C. Special topics in Security (optional)
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
