CS 315-01, Networking and Security, Fall 2010

Abstract

The goal of this course is to introduce two fundamental and related topics in computing: networked communication, and computer security. Modern computers and computational devices are nearly always connected to some network, and we will introduce frameworks to understand how this connection works. The openness with which computer networking began has allowed malicious entities of all sorts to prey upon computer users, so we will also study computer security as it interacts with networking.
