Networks & Security is an introductory course to get acquainted with the basic aspects of networking, and the techniques that enable networks and the Internet to function efficiently and in a scalable way. We also look at these from a security perspective, in particular introducing you to common attack and defense techniques. We will cover all this both in theory and in practice.
Instructional modes
This course will have weekly lectures & practical / tutorial sessions. As a 6 EC course, this leaves time for self-education (working on assignments, reading material, etc) outside of these sessions and you will be expected to spend that time on the course.
