CSCI-735: FOUNDATIONS OF INTELLIGENT SECURITY SYSTEMS

RIT Department of Computer Science

Catalogue Description

The course will introduce students into the current state of intelligent methodologies applications in computer security and information assurance system design. It will review different application areas such as intrusion detection and monitoring systems, an access control and biological authentication, a firewall structure and design. The students will be required to implement a course project on design of a particular security tool with an application of an artificial intelligence methodology and to undertake research and analysis of artificial intelligence applications in computer security. (CSCI-630 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence or CSCI-651 Data Communications and Networks I)

Class 2.5, Lab 0.5, Credit 3 (Fall and Spring)
