Security is of ever-increasing importance in modern computing. As the value of information stored in and transmitted by computing systems continually grows, so does the need to keep that information secure. Government and commercial organisations are paying increasing attention to the requirements of security. This unit covers the fundamental technologies from which all secure systems are constructed. It is intended both for those who will progress to further study in security and for those wishing to understand the technological basics of computer security.
