Stallings' Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice introduces students to the compelling and evolving field of cryptography and network security. In an age of viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraud on a global scale, security is paramount. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. The first part of the book explores the basic issues to be addressed by a network security capability and provides a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security technology. The latter part of the book deals with the practice of network security, covering practical applications that have been implemented and are in use to provide network security.

In over 30 years in the field, he has been a technical contributor, technical manager and an executive with several high-technology firms. He has designed and implemented both TCP/IP-based and OSI-based protocol suites on a variety of computers and operating systems, ranging from microcomputers to mainframes. As a consultant, he has advised government agencies, computer and software vendors, and major users on the design, selection and use of networking software and products.
He created and maintains the Computer Science Student Resource Site. This site provides documents and links on a variety of subjects of general interest to computer science students (and professionals). He is a member of the editorial board of Cryptologia, a scholarly journal devoted to all aspects of cryptology.
Dr. William Stallings is an American author. He has written textbooks on computer science topics such as operating systems, computer networks, computer organization, and cryptography. He also maintains a website titled Computer Science Student Resource. He has authored 17 titles, and counting revised editions, a total of over 40 books on various aspects of these subjects. In over 20 years in the field, he has been a technical contributor, technical manager, and an executive with several high-technology firms. Currently he is an independent consultant whose clients have included computer and networking manufacturers and customers, software development firms, and leading-edge government research institutions.

The report should be typeset in letter paper, with 11 point fonts, single space. Atleast 2 pages for undergrads and 4 pages for grads. This report is not intended to be a survey of any specific topic. It is intended to highlight yur broad understanding of the scope of Security, and/or Cryptography.Suggested Topics
This document provides an overview of cryptography and network security. It defines key terms like computer security, network security, and internet security. It describes common security attacks like eavesdropping, tampering, fabrication, and denial of service. It also outlines security services, security mechanisms, and the OSI security architecture. The document models network security and network access security.Read less
Prerequisites:
Undergraduate students: COMPSCI 453 Computer Networking or ECE 374 Computer Networks & Internet. All prerequsities require "C" grade or better. A student may also be enrolled with instructors permission.
Graduate Students: No prerequsities for COMPSCI and ECE graduate students; however, any eduction in security requires good knowledge of networking. As such, knowledge of COMPSCI 453, Computer Networking or ECE 374 is essential to completely benefit from this course. Other non-degree students need permission of instructor.
Textbooks (Required)
The two textbooks which I will be following in this course cover the material from two different points of view. The book by Wending Du, as the title suggests, covers the topic in a very practical and hands-on approach. The second book by William Stallings is more descriptive and covers the topics in more traditional way. I have used parts of these two books and well as lecture notes by other leaders of the field in this course.
This course introduces the principles and practice of computer and network security with a focus on both fundamental principles and practical applications through hands-on approach. Many of the principles are taught through examples. The key topics of this course are a brief introduction to computer networking; applied cryptography; protecting users, data, and services; network security, and common threats and defense strategies. Students will complete several practical lab assignments as well as auto-graded quizzes/assignments.
Lectures will be recorded. This class's lectures will be recorded. When physically present, every effort is made to not capture students' likenesses, as the system is designed to capture the instructor and the front of the classroom, however, students' audio participation might be recorded. These recordings will be made accessible to students enrolled this semester and in subsequent offerings of the class.
In this course, each voice in the classroom has something of value to contribute. Please take care to respect the different experiences, beliefs and values expressed by students and staff involved in this course. I support the commitment of the UMass Amherst College of Information and Computer Sciences to diversity, and welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, citizenships, disability, sex, education, ethnicities, family statuses, genders, gender identities, geographical locations, languages, military experience, political views, races, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, and work experiences.
Plagiarism
As a condition of continued enrollment in this course, you agree to submit all assignments to the Turnitin and/or My Drop Box services for textual comparison or originality review for the detection of possible plagiarism. All submitted assignments will be included in the UMass Amherst dedicated databases of assignments at Turnitin and/or My Drop Box. These databases of assignments will be used solely for the purpose of detecting possible plagiarism during the grading process and during this term and in the future. Students who do not submit their papers electronically to the selected service will be required to submit copies of the cover page and first cited page of each source listed in the bibliography with the final paper to receive a grade on the assignment.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst is committed to providing an equal educational opportunity for all students. If you have a documented physical, psychological, or learning disability on file with Disability Services (DS), you may be eligible for reasonable academic accommodations to help you succeed in this course. If you have a documented disability that requires an accommodation, please notify me within the first two weeks of the semester so that we may make appropriate arrangements.
Since the integrity of the academic enterprise of any institution of higher education requires honesty in scholarship and research, academic honesty is required of all students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Academic dishonesty is prohibited in all programs of the University. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to: cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and facilitating dishonesty. Appropriate sanctions may be imposed on any student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty. Instructors should take reasonable steps to address academic misconduct. Any person who has reason to believe that a student has committed academic dishonesty should bring such information to the attention of the appropriate course instructor as soon as possible. Instances of academic dishonesty not related to a specific course should be brought to the attention of the appropriate department Head or Chair. Since students are expected to be familiar with this policy and the commonly accepted standards of academic integrity, ignorance of such standards is not normally sufficient evidence of lack of intent ( _students/codeofconduct/acadhonesty/ ).
