This course examines Internet security concerning two key network design issues: information security and information privacy. Students learn and understand the technical tools to protect information from external compromise, internal and external threats, various network security technologies and protection systems, apply network design techniques capable of providing information security to local and wide-area networks, general information encryption techniques and protocols including symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic methodologies, one-way hashes and digital signatures, secure sockets layer and Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC), learn to evaluate and create corporate policies regarding privacy, the adoption of cloud computing and information network security.
