The VoIP and Multimedia Security course explores the technologies, protocols, and security practices required to safeguard Voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia communication systems. With the increasing adoption of VoIP in businesses, understanding the security implications is critical to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communications. This course covers key security issues such as encryption, fraud detection, compliance with regulations, and protection against cyberattacks like denial-of-service (DoS).
Security Principles, Account Security, File System Security, Assessing Risk, Risk Analysis, and Encryption. The student’s basic network and operating system skills will be expanded to include planning, implementation, and auditing of a system’s security package. Secure design and secure coding principles, practices, and methods including least privilege, threat modelling, and static analysis. Covers common vulnerabilities such as buffer overruns, integer overflows, injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and weak error handling.
Overview and Introduction to Cryptography, Mathematical Background, Symmetric Cryptosystems, Stream Ciphers, Block Ciphers, Feistel Ciphers, Multiple Encryption, DES/AES, Hash Functions, Data Integrity, Authentication, MAC, Asymmetric Cryptosystems, Number Theory Background, Algorithmic Number Theory, Probabilistic Primality Testing, True Primality Testing, Factoring Integers, RSA, Security of RSA Encryption, Security of RSA Key Generation, Discrete Logarithm Cryptographic Schemes, Diffie-Hellman, ElGamal, Key Establishment, Identification Protocols, Digital Signatures, Public Key Management, ECC, Quantum Cryptography, Visual Cryptography, Lattice Cryptography.
This course explores the core concepts of ethical hacking and reverse engineering. Students will delve into attack strategies, security defenses, and countermeasures while learning how to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities. The course balances theory with hands-on lab work in ethical hacking, providing students with the skills needed to secure digital environments.
