CNS Syllabus

This document outlines the units of study for a course on Cryptography and Network Security. The 8 units cover topics such as security attacks and services, symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms like AES and RSA, number theory concepts, hash functions, authentication applications including Kerberos and PKI, IP security protocols, web security standards, system security measures, and intrusion detection. The course will use Cryptography and Network Security by William Stallings as the primary textbook along with two other references for cryptography and network security principles.
