The goal of this course is to cover the theoretical and practical aspects of network security. This course will provide students with the understandings of what is computer/network security, the technologies involved and the current solutions to certain threats. This course will provide students up to date information on network-based and internet-based security applications. Upon completing this course, students should be able to: Understand threats and sources of attacks in network security and understand the limitation of the current security technology and able to choose proper security mechanism given types of network and threats involved. Be able to design and implement security measures based on requirements and identify and investigate threats to network security.
