Abstract:
The Telecommunication Safety course is compulsory for students of TS. The goals of the course are the
acquisition of thorough theoretical knowledge of the most important aspects of these topics, alonside with the
implementation of some cryptosystems in software.
Course content:
Fundamentals of reliability and security. Reliability parameters. Security of communications networks and
systems. Security policy. Organization - technical and administration precautions for security. Software -technical
methods and tools. Protection of technical information. Communication channels protection. Protection from
parasitic electromagnetic radiation. Management of protection systems. Stages in constructing a system for data
protection. Requirements to systems for data protection.
Foundations of cryptography and security, Cryptography protocols and techniques, Classical and modern
encryption algorithms – Data encryption standard, stream and block ciphers, public-key encryption, pseudo
random generators, one-way Hash functions, RSA etc.
Teaching and assessment:
The teaching process is divided into lectures and practical classes. Lectures last two hours and the lecture
material precedes the practical exercises. The practical sessions are grouped in pairs and are conducted every
second week. At the beginning of each practical class students’ knowledge is checked. The course finishes with
an exam. Continuous assessment during the semester allows students to acquire regular knowledge.
