Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes, which results in faster computations; lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings. This is attractive to mobile/wireless environments which are typically limited in terms of their CPU, power and network connectivity. In this course you will learn advance number theory and algorithms and necessary gain capabilities to work in the new field of experimental mathematics needed to implement ECC. You will also learn other functionality of ECC, its advantages and challenges over other cryptosystems. Comparison with other cryptographic systems will also be undertaken based on aspects such as efficiency, size of the key needed to attain a certain level of security (this has implications on computational costs and time), known and probable attacks, current and predicted future (based on the current growth of technology) and their prevention techniques. ECC reliability will also be looked into. PREREQ: Advance computing and Mathematics & CIS301.

CCT300 - OSCAR Cluster Computing Training Course Description Cluster computing is the technique of linking two or more computers into a network (usually through a local area network) in order to take advantage of the parallel processing power of those computers. In this course students will use OSCAR (Open Source Cluster Application Resource) software which offers high-performance super-computing power at a very affordable price. It enables virtually any person with minimal computer skills to transform several standard computers into a virtual super-computer. It merits a distinction of being one of the best open source HPC cluster that can be deployed easily using Linux powered PCs. The primary purpose of the cluster is to learn parallel computation and its applications e.g., number crunching in cryptography or research in genetic and medical engineering. Oscar Cluster is a HPC cluster initially consisting of 2 nodes but is easily scalable depending on the computing needs. In this training, students will learn how to plan setup and deploy OSCAR on Linux RHEL5. PREQ: Advance knowledge of Linux. Course Description Module 01 - Install Guide Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server v1.0 Module 02 - Step-by-Step Install Guide OSCAR Cluster 5.1 on Linux RHEL5 v1.1

AES - Applied Engineering Sciences

AES4000 – Software Engineering Project Management This course teaches you essential concepts, principles, and techniques relating to the project management aspects of software engineering. Software project management is of paramount importance to the success of software development projects. As revealed by the As revealed by the 2004 CHAOS Report from US analysts the Standish Group there was over US$100 billion in combined waste, lost value and cost over-runs for information technology projects in the U.S. alone. Today, the potential of software project failure due to improper project management is formidable. Just read about eHealth IT implementation in UK and recently Ontario Canada eHealth case to get the gist it. If that is not enough, there are thousands of tombstones of abandoned students, customer etc. records management system world-wide due mainly to failure of project owners and developers to understand the complexity of its customer implementation and billing service. All these data reveal one fact, that is, project management is tremendously important to the success of software development projects. That is the theme of this course and accompanying course materials. Course Content: Module 1 – Course Overview: provides the course overview of this course.

WS300 – Sustainable Rural Women Development in Africa Studies In Africa over 85 per cent of all rural women contribute to sustainable national development through their work as small-scale farmers, providing the bulk of the nation’s food supply. Therefore, their role as the gatekeepers to family and child welfare is a common knowledge in Africa and many other parts of the developing world. In this respect they’re keenly aware of the connections between local poverty, the lack of available and affordable technologies, and the problems of socio-economic in rural areas. For this reason, their role and status becomes a key critical factor in enviro-socio-economic and policy development in Kenya, Africa and the world at a large. The objectives of this course/program are to undertake on-the-field research, document findings and provide possible solutions to alleviate women conditions in rural Africa. This course, therefore, is mainly field work and projects to be taken in rural Kenya for a start but students can choose any other development country.

Center for Advance Research in Renewable Energy & Environmental Systems (CARES)

CARES – Center for Advance Research in Renewable Energy & Environmental Systems CARES membership is for people who are interested to pursue fundamental research clean energy by successfully bridging the four pillars of human needs sustainable existence: socio-economic-energy-environmental inter-relationships. Perform R&D in Bioenergy, Wind, Solar & Energy architectural efficient built environment. Today, the easily identified forms of energy are fossil fuels, chemical (fuels) and mechanical (hydro) energy. The main forms of energy that has been in use for a long time is fossil fuel and thereafter nuclear energy. The utilization of these forms of energy has environmental restrictions, poor planning and political indifference. Apart from this, there is the reality of depleting limited energy resources. There is also this eagerness by the less technological oriented countries to improve their people’s standards of living and they recognize energy as being a necessary ingredient. This natural desire for energy use for socio-economics development has put added strains on the global available resources, a characteristic of industrialized & newly industrialized countries, thereby creating worldwide environmental pollution problem with severe consequences on climatic change. PREREQ: Willing to share and contribute research time, papers, articles & policy docs. Dissemination of solutions to: UN, governments, energy industries and communities on best practices of energy use.
