Course Overview
In this era of globalisation and mongering threat of cybersecurity attacks, developing secure and efficient computer systems and the regime has become inevitable for every organisation touched by the digital revolution. Information Security - 5 - Secure Systems Engineering by SWAYAM discusses everything one needs to know about information security and the engineering of secure systems to build a strong conceptual idea of the same.
The syllabus deals with various challenges and issues in systems and mechanisms by which they can be mitigated. The first part will cover such security threats which can hamper the system health and can lead to major cyberattacks. To understand them in-depth, the course will also discuss how such vulnerabilities could arise from simple programming flaws like a buffer that overflows to complicated application runtime characteristics that are demonstrated through side-channels like the power consumption of the device and execution time.
It will also deal with the case analysis of recent cyberattacks like Heartbleed, Stagefright, and Meltdown and Spectre. The course will be taught by adopting multimedia technology and aims to reach every person looking for quality education at minimal to no cost. It will be taught by a faculty from IIT Madras.
