This is repository for lecture notes and relevant learning materials for Foundations of Cybersecurity course that I take as part of Master Security in Security by Design (MSSD) in Singapore University of Techology and Design. The instructor of this module is Jianying Zhou.

This lecture not is retroactively written because I took the class in 2019 and I want to make sure that I can retain more knowledge from the class by rewriting the note.

Please note that there will not be any homework answer uploaded here.
