INFO-I 230 Analytical Foundations of Security (3 cr.)

This course will allow students to re-evaluate and conceptualize material learned in discrete courses to consider the topics from the perspective of security. For example, computer system basics such as hardware (CPU, memory, ...) and software are reconsidered from the perspective of how their interactions create vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities that combine standard hardware and software configurations will be examined, as these illuminate both security and computer networks. Operating systems and file systems are examined from the perspective of access control, permissions and availability of system services, etc.
