  3. Information Assurance Education • 3 faculty members with primary interest in IA • Csilla Farkas: Information assurance, web data security and privacy, damage and social vulnerability analysis of cyber attacks • Chin-Tser Huang: Intrusion detection, wireless security, network protocols • Wenyuan Xu: Wireless networking and security, sensor networks, jamming detection and avoidance • 6 faculty members with IA-related research • Duncan Buell, Caroline Eastman, Stephen Fenner, Michael Huhns, Manton Matthews, and John Rose Computer Science and Engineering

  4. IA Education • IA courses have been offered regularly since 2000 • 5 undergraduate and graduate-level courses • 8 graduate-level courses • Graduate Certificate Program in Information Assurance and Security (IA&S), effective since Fall 2004 http://www.cse.sc.edu/research/isl/ia&s_certificate.html • Courses meet the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) Training Standards 4011, 4013, and 4014 • Required for Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education designated by the National Security Agency Computer Science and Engineering

  5. Graduate Certificate Program in IA&S Targeted group • Graduate students enrolled in one of the graduate level programs • IT professionals working in security related fields Computer Science and Engineering

  6. IA&S Certificate Graduate Program Admission Requirements • Baccalaureate degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field • Work experience as information security professional • Admission requirements for graduate study at the Department of Computer Science and Engineeringhttp://www.cse.sc.edu/GRADUATE/AdmissionsPage.html Computer Science and Engineering

  7. IA&S Certificate Program Graduation requirements • 18 hours of graduate study with B average • 9 hours core courses • 9 hours of elective courses Computer Science and Engineering

  8. Core Courses • CSCE 522 – Information Systems Security Principles • Offered every Fall semester • Required for Computer Information Systems majors • CSCE 715– Network Security • Offered every Fall semester • CSCE 727 – Information Warfare • Offered every 3rd semester Computer Science and Engineering

  9. Elective Courses • CSCE 201 – Introduction to Computer Security • CSCE 517 – Computer Crime and Forensics • CSCE 548 – Secure Software Construction • CSCE 557 – Introduction to Cryptography • CSCE 790 – Security and Privacy for Emerging Ubiquitous Communication system • CSCE 813 – Internet Security • CSCE 814 – Distributed Systems Security • CSCE 824 – Secure Database Systems Computer Science and Engineering
