Course content
Lectures: 1. Why, how, what and against whom to provide; static and dynamic security methods. 2. Protection of stored data - Physical separation from the environment, archiving of media, methods of recovering damaged data (carrier damage, data structure damage). 3. Protection of received / transmitted data - firewalls, tunnels. 4. Encryption, mathematical foundations of cryptography, symmetric cipher, asymmetric cipher, hash, electronic signature. 5. Secure socket layer, certificates, certification authority. 6. IP tunneling, IP forwarding, virtual networks. 7. Secure Login - ssh, sftp, scp, kerberos, and ticket service in general (Third Party Third Party Security). 8. Antivirus protection - virus classification, defense methods. 9. Typical methods of penetration into closed systems, denial of service, spamming, hammering. 10. Securing shared data spaces. Seminars: 1. Introduction to the SALIX-Linux multiuser system, basic rules for working in UNIX. Application of damaged data recovery methods - self-repair codes, redundant totals. 2. Creating a simple virtual network within the classroom, setting up virtual network interfaces. 3. Application of hashing methods in practice - generation of certificates, electronic signatures. 4. Central Authentication Management - LDAP, Kerberos, SASL. Creating a secure shared data space. 5. Presentation of semestral projects.
