After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• describe selected concepts in network security (including BGP and MANET routing security, security concepts in IPv6 networks, in-depth cryptographic techniques) and apply them in examples
• solve arithmetic problems on cryptographic methods
• explain concepts of network steganography (covert channels, subliminal channels) and apply them in examples
• use selected network data analysis and anomaly detection tools to solve network steganography detection exercises

Advanced Topics in network security: IPv6 security, routing security (BGP, MANET), secure group communication, hidden communication (covert channels, subliminal channels), smart grid security, future challenges and new approaches, practical exercises

Presentation of slides with additional explanations on the blackboard, laboratory exercises.
