After successful completion of the course, students are able to:
- explain basic concepts of network security - describe how cryptographic methods work (including RSA, ElGamal, Diffie-Hellman, Elliptic Curve Cryptography) - solve arithmetic problems on cryptographic methods - describe and apply methods of anomaly detection - use selected network data analysis and anomaly detection tools to analyze network data for different questions
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.
In the summer semester 2021, the course will be held in distance learning mode: Recorded slide presentations, Zoom videoconferences, lab exercises as home exercises. A PC or laptop is required for the lab exercises. For the exam, you will need a room where you can be undisturbed and two devices with a video camera with which you can participate in a Zoom Call. If appropriate equipment is not available, assistance can be requested through the Distance Learning Team.
The first lecture will start on Tuesday, March 2 at 13:00 (s.t., on time) as Zoom Call. The access data can be found in the TUWEL.
Theory part: written exam in TUWEL as online exam
Lab part: lab report and written exam in TUWEL as online exam.
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.
Introduction to Network Security
Protocols
Basic knowledge about communication networks, especially IP networks (e.g., from VO Communication Networks 1)
