Tutorial Work in Cybersecurity
Course Description
This is a course based on your independent research. Each student is expected to select a research topic, and the instructor’s role will be to monitor the progress, supervision, and provide feedback throughout the student’s work.
Course Material
You are expected to write a final paper of 4,000- 5,000 words and provide references from at least 8 scholarly journals, government reports, think tanks and similar credible sources. However, blogs, online news, or other similar online sources are not to be counted within those 8 references (you can still include them as other references). You are also expected to present your paper within a 10-minute video (preferably a PowerPoint Presentation) by the end of the semester.
Course Presentation
This presentation was created as an aid for what the overall essay was all about. I chose the topic of Quantum Cryptography as it has been an interest of mine for a while and I find it fascinating. The use of quantum mechanics as a means to encrypt and store information has been in development over the past decade or so and more advancements are being made every day. This presentation takes a look at the topics discussed in the essay, which include; History of Cryptography, Principles of Quantum Mechanics, How Quantum Cryptography is Applied in Different Sectors, along with the Challenges and Opportunities, and the Societal and Ethical implications.

This is the final product from this independent study course. I chose the topic of quantum cryptography because it is an up and coming area of computer science. Quantum cryptography is an interesting topic to choose as it combines regular computer science and cryptography with theoretical physics. The underlying topics that are listed above are the ones covered more in depth within this paper.
