CYBER ALGORITHMS THAT CHANGED THE FUTURE
CSE1ACF
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject introduces core algorithms in cybersecurity that support confidentiality, integrity and availability in information systems. Students will be exposed to the conception, design and implementation processes for new algorithms as they relate to cybersecurity. Real-world case studies from intelligence analysis, fraud, databases, networks and firewalls will be used to illustrate how algorithms can be applied to solve problems. This subject does not require prior knowledge of computer programming.
