About the Course

This course introduces the basics of cyber defense starting with foundational models such as Bell-LaPadula and information flow frameworks. These underlying policy enforcements mechanisms help introduce basic functional protections, starting with authentication methods. Learners will be introduced to a series of different authentication solutions and protocols, including RSA SecureID and Kerberos, in the context of a canonical schema.   The basics of cryptography are also introduced with attention to conventional block ciphers as well as public key cryptography. Important cryptographic techniques such as cipher block chaining and triple-DES are explained. Modern certification authority-based cryptographic support is also discussed and shown to provide basis for secure e-commerce using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) schemes....

G​reat info, well-chosen readings, wish there were more practice problems. Assignments and quizzes are good for a Coursera course, but not great.

Great introduction to some common mechanisms, such as cryptography, which can be used to thwart cyber attacks.

Wish the links were refreshed as some were broken and the peer grading process in the final is not working well.

I find this course not useful. May be it is better for non-technical persons.

This is an advanced course. You will definitely a strong foundation in network engineering to complete this course. It is very misleading to advertise Beginner's to Intermediate level.
