SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:	This course aims to introduce cryptographic algorithms and methods in an applied manner.
Course Content:	It covers explaining encryption and decryption process and necessary mathematical algorithms so that students can embrace significance of cryptology in relation to the information security. Topics include: classical encryption techniques, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hash algorithms and examining usage areas of cryptographic applications.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:



Knowledge *(Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)*
1) Learns the basics of cryptology.
2) Understands the role of cryptology plays in information systems security.
3) Has knowledge about working principles of conventional and modern encryption algorithms.
Skills *(Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)*
1) Identifies and classifies the encryption algorithms.
2) Can implement encryption algorithms.
3) Can implement cryptanalysis algorithms.
Competences *(Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)*
1) Implements the techniques and algorithms (learned in the course) in an individual project.

SECTION IV: TEACHING-LEARNING & ASSESMENT-EVALUATION METHODS OF THE COURSE

Teaching & Learning Methods of the Course

(All teaching and learning methods used at the university are managed systematically. Upon proposals of the programme units, they are assessed by the relevant academic boards and, if found appropriate, they are included among the university list. Programmes, then, choose the appropriate methods in line with their programme design from this list. Likewise, appropriate methods to be used for the course units can be chosen among those defined for the programme.)
