The goal of this course is for students to be introduced to the basic mathematical tools used in modern cybersecurity. The course covers introductory mathematical material from a number of disparate fields including probability theory, analysis of algorithms, complexity theory, number theory, and group theory. We integrate programming tools to help understanding mathematic ideas as well as breaking bad encryption schemes.
