CS 596 Network Security
The class will focus on network security. In order to understand the network security problem, the course will include a review of various forms of network attacks. We will then review basic techniques in applied cryptography, and then secure protocols will be covered including network-layer security and various application-layer secure protocols. We then turn to network-side security management including both passive measures like firewall defense schemes including packet filers and bastion hosts, as well as active intrusion detection and response. Finally, we will cover protocols for protecting privacy and anonymity.
