Objectives of the Course
|
The primary goal of this course is to equip students with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of modern network security principles, challenges, and mechanisms. Students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to design and analyze secure network architectures. The course aims to develop students' ability to critically examine various cryptographic algorithms, understand the theoretical foundations that ensure their security, and apply these concepts to real-world scenarios. Additionally, the course will explore common network vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, and corresponding defense mechanisms, with a focus on cryptographic protections. Students will also investigate the specific security requirements of real-time communications and web services, preparing them to address contemporary security issues in evolving digital environments.
