EC488A Information

Applications of Cyber Engineering


  • EC488A Course Policy
    Students are responsible for being thoroughly familiar with this document. It will have been reviewed by the instructor on the first day of class.
  • EC488A Mission Statement
    Educate each midshipman about cyber infrastructure and systems, inherent cyber vulnerabilities and threats, and appropriate defensive security procedures, thereby enabling them to make principled decisions regarding the potential benefits, consequences, and risks from a proposed use of an information system in today's cyber warfare environment.
  • EC488A Course Goals
    The fundamental goal of EC488A is that students are able to:
    • Describe typical cyber security threats and vulnerabilities and describe actions that can be taken to protect information systems, hardware, and software in both the computer and network domains.
    • Describe the security principles, mechanisms, and technologies that are implemented to provide confidentiality, authentication, and integrity.
  • EC488A Glossary
    Just what do all these terms mean anyway?
  • EC488A Acknowledgements
    Many people had a hand in bringing EC488A to the USNA curriculum. This link acknowledges many of the people that were an important part of this effort. We apologize for anyone we've missed.
