Cyber Engineering Tech (CETE)

This course introduces the cloud computing reference model for building cloud infrastructure. This model includes five fundamental layers (physical, virtual, control, orchestration, and service) and three cross-layer functions (business continuity, security, and service management). For each layer and cross-layer function, this course covers the comprising technologies, components, processes, and mechanisms. This course takes an open-approach to describe the concepts and technologies, and addresses the security issues associated with cloud computing infrastructure. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing

Restrictions: Graduate level students may not enroll.

This course examines the concepts, principles, and applications of wireless and mobile security. It discusses the evolution of wireless and mobile technology and explores security and privacy including risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and security mechanisms in wireless and mobile devices, Internet, and internetworking systems.

This course begins with an overview of necessary background in algebra and number theory, private- and public-key cryptosystems, applied cryptography, and basic signature schemes. The course will cover number theory and basic theory of Galois fields used in cryptography history of primality algorithms and the polynomial-time test of primality; discrete logarithm based cryptosystems including those based on elliptic curves interactive protocols, including the role of zero-knowledge proofs in authentication; construction of untraceable electronic cash on the net and quantum cryptography, and one or more of digital watermarking, fingerprinting, and steganography.

This course will cover subjects related to security designs and architecture. The course links to a new job role called: Security Architect. A security architect designs, builds, and oversees the implementation of network and computer security for an organization. The course will be built on NIST NICE cyber framework. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing.

This course prepares students to securely design and operate physical systems with embedded software and firmware. Topics include, but are not limited to, the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial control systems, and ground, air and maritime vehicles. Cyber physical systems pose unique lie safety risks to system users and the public, while the rapidly expanding role of IoT is introducing new security and privacy risks to the public. Methods to assess and mitigate risk from cyber physical systems are examined. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing

This course will introduce students to the concepts, principles, and application of big data analytics in the context of security. It will provide knowledge on big data analytics tools and platforms including MapReduce, Hadoop, and explore the applicability of big data analysis to identify security threats and to develop intelligent security solutions for securing software applications and business processes. TSI Restriction(s): Reading, Math, and Writing

Restrictions: Graduate level students may not enroll.

This course will integrate knowledge from introductory security courses with knowledge from data science and analytics. Major subjects include: cyber operations and management, cyber defense and offense, malware analysis, and reverse engineering. This course will be built based on NIST NICE cyber framework.
