Knowledge about network security methods, cryptography, anomaly detection methods, applying theoretical knowledge in practical exercises for network traffic analysis and anomaly detection
Security objectives in communication networks, threats and attack techniques, cryptography (basic concepts, selected topics), security concepts for communication protocols, network supervision techniques, network data analysis, anomaly detection methods, practical exercises.
Slides will be made available to registered students in TISS. The slides contain all information required to pass the exam.
The following links provide additional information about the topics. Links to further sources (papers, etc.) about specific topics will be given in the lectures.
