ITIS 3200: Introduction to Information Security and Privacy
Information security and privacy has played an important role in our daily lives. The new health care system, smart grid, transportation

In this course, we are going to present
the basic knowledge in this literature and how these simple yet neat
ideas can be combined to construct secure
mechanisms. We will introduce security and privacy from policy, implementation,

encryption and authentication. We will also discuss the topics in network,
system, software, and user security. Some state-of-the-art problems will
also be introduced.
