Cybersecurity Courses You May Take

Computer Network Analysis and Design: This course primarily discusses computer networks from the perspective of analysis and design. Topics include network-based applications, layered network architectures, ARQ and analysis, performance analysis, packet switching, shortest path routing algorithms, design of the Internet architecture, and its widely used core protocols.

PLC Systems and Programming: This course is designed to provide an in depth understanding of the PLC Networking, Analog systems, advanced instruction set features, communications, diagnostics, modem and internet connections, remote I/O, Ethernet, motion control. Formal methods are introduced during this course to encourage the students to design a control algorithm. Formal methods are also important to verify and validate the control algorithm before implementing it.

Cyber-Physical System and Security: In this course, we discuss cyber-physical systems and security, and the principles and practices of cryptography and network security. Following an introduction and review of the basics of cyber security, the course presents cyber-physical systems and security, security of wireless sensor networks, control systems, industrial control systems, power grids, embedded systems and RFID, cryptographic methods, key distribution, protocols for authenticated and confidential communications, and IPSec.

Cybersecurity: Networks: This course provides a hands-on study of various network attacks and defending techniques, including main vulnerabilities of TCP/IP protocols, attacks on DNS servers, DoS attacks, firewalls, VPNs, TLS and Blockchain. Basics of TCP/IP protoco;s will also be covered.

Advanced Internet of Things Networking: This is a graduate-level introductory course on the Internet of Things (IoT). The course provides an overview of three key modules for IoT: sensing, networking, and applications. It involves the study of the impact of existing wireless and mobile network architectures on different IoT designs and further focuses on those distinct characteristics that require a fundamental redesign. In addition to middleware and applications custom-made for IoT, protocols for medium access control, routing, and reliable transport will be dealt with.
