Course Outline (approx. time) Introduction to security and cryptology (1 wk) Symmetric ciphers (5 wks) - EXAM 1 - Asymmetric ciphers (3 wks) Authentication/PKI (2 wks) Encryption-based Protocols (3 wks) - EXAM 2 - Presentations (2 wks) 13.Attendance and Expectations Attendance is required Cell phones and pagers must be silent during class. Reading emails, facebook, etc. is appropriate at some other time. You must attend and participate. Try to formulate the question before asking it, and wait to see if it is answered in a few minutes so we can maintain flow. Lengthy discussions will be deferred to office hours. Students are required to check the class web pages at least three times a week (MWF) for announcements/updates. While we will not check that you do this, the web pages are the authoritative source of information for the class, and to obtain this information in a timely manner, you will want to visit often. You are encouraged to discuss the material outside of class with your fellow students. Exams must be your own work. 14. Grading Examinations (2) 60% Project 20% Participation 10% Homework/quizzes 10% You must pass both Exams portion and Projects/Participation/Quizzes 15. Grading Scale Grading is on the curve. Projects should be at least 80%, quizzes at least 50%, and exams at least 50% for an average grade. Programs will be graded based on documentation, good programming practice, functionality, and performance. You must provide design and test documentation and interface specifications for your components, document your programs and give test results. Homework/Exam/Project Policy: Homeworks are due at the start of the class of their due date. Students are encouraged to discuss the course and the assignments and the homework with each other, however, your exams should be your own work. Joint projects are acceptable with proper documentation and commensurate scope. Quizzes may cover reading material assigned and/or material already covered in class. I grade carefully the first time, but if you believe that you deserve more credit on an assignment, you must submit a regrade request via email to me justifying your request within two weeks from the time that the graded material was returned to the class. Class Presentation: You will be expected to present your project (a paper or an implementation) to the class at some point during the term. You must research the topic, prepare a detailed outline, and prepare presentation materials (overhead slides, slide show, etc.). The talk should last approximately 15 minutes, with time for questions. Your topic must be discussed with the instructor in advance and scheduled according to the class outline. You must also review your presentation with the instructor at least one week before your presentation date, and ammend it as needed. You will be asked to provide feedback to the other students who present, and will receive same for your presentation. Classroom Policy: Attendance is required, as participation is a signficant portion of this class and your evaluation. Late arrivals are expected to enter discretely. Cell phones and pagers should be silent during class. Questions are encouraged - raise your hand to be recognized. Try to formulate the question before asking it, and wait to see if it is answered in a few minutes so we can maintain flow. Lengthy discussions on side issues will be deferred to office hours. 16. Make-up Exam Policy – see the instructor if you have a valid excuse for missing an examination. 17. Honesty Policy – All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a UF student and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this course and all others. 18. Accommodation for Students with Disabilities – Students Requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. That office will provide the student with documentation that he/she must provide to the course instructor when requesting accommodation. 19. UF Counseling Services – Resources are available on-campus for students having personal problems or lacking clear career and academic goals. The resources include: - University Counseling Center, 301 Peabody Hall, 392-1575, Personal and Career Counseling. - SHCC mental Health, Student Health Care Center, 392-1171, Personal and Counseling. - Center for Sexual Assault/Abuse Recovery and Education (CARE), Student Health Care Center, 392-1161, sexual assault counseling. - Career Resource Center, Reitz Union, 392-1601, career development assistance and counseling. 20.Software Use – All faculty, staff and student of the University are required and expected to obey the laws and legal agreements governing software use. Failure to do so can lead to monetary damages and/or criminal penalties for the individual violator. Because such violations are also against University policies and rules, disciplinary action will be taken as appropriate. We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to uphold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
