Data Compression and Encryption

 Objectives of course Data Compression and Encryption is to introduce classical encryption techniques and concepts of modular arithmetic and number theory.

To explore the working principles and utilities of various cryptographic algorithms including secret key cryptography, hashes and message digests, and public key algorithms. To explore the design issues and working principles of various authentication protocols, PKI standards and various secure communication standards including Kerberos, IPsec, and SSL/TLS and email. To develop the ability to use existing cryptographic utilities to build programs for secure communication. Outcomes of course Cryptography and System Security are that at the end of the course learner will able to. Understand system security goals and concepts, classical encryption techniques and acquire fundamental knowledge on the concepts of modular arithmetic and number theory. Understand, compare and apply different encryption and decryption techniques to solve problems related to confidentiality and authentication. Apply the knowledge of cryptographic checksums and evaluate the performance of different message digest algorithms for verifying the integrity of varying message sizes.  Apply different digital signature algorithms to achieve authentication and design secure applications Understand network security basics, analyze different attacks on networks and evaluate the performance of firewalls and security protocols like SSL, IPSec, and PGP. Analyze and apply system security concept to recognize malicious code.

Cryptography, or cryptology is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries. More generally, cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols that prevent third parties or the public from reading private messages;[3] various aspects in information security such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation[4] are central to modern cryptography. Modern cryptography exists at the intersection of the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, communication science, and physics. Applications of cryptography include electronic commerce, chip-based payment cards, digital currencies, computer passwords, and military communications.
