Network Security
About This Course
By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
Understand key security properties required of internet applications and major threats against these properties.
Understand basic cryptographic techniques and their practical applications in the design and implementation of secure internet protocols and services.
The vulnerability of network applications to network attacks.
Design internet protocols and applications that are secure and resilient against attacks, without unnecessarily losing efficiency.
The design and security properties of important internet services including secure emails, SSL/TLS, and VPN.
Command C/Java software tools and modules towards implementation of secure internet applications.
What You'll Learn
Participants will learn important internet security services such as secure emails, secure transport (SSL/TLS) and virtual private network (VPN). Participants will also have a chance to apply C/Java software tools/modules towards implementing secure internet software.
IT professionals, engineers, or technical managers will gain a broad and practical understanding of major security threats in the internet and corresponding defenses against these threats. They will also acquire skills to conceptualise, design, and implement secure network applications.
Entry Requirements
Basic knowledge of C or Java programming.
Items To Bring Along for the Course
Laptop that runs Unix or Linux OS in native or virtualisation mode.
