Advanced Protocols and Network Security
Course: Computer Engineering (Cpr E) 530 /Information Assurance (INFAS) 530, section XC (CD-ROM), section XL (streaming media), section XM (videotape)
Detailed examination of networking standards, protocols, and their implementation. TCP/IP protocol suite, network application protocols, IP routing, network security issues. Emphasis on laboratory experiments.
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to decode and utilize protocols from both the TCP/IP protocol suite, analyze protocols from the data link layer through the application layer, and describe the TCP/IP network protocols and the effect of an open network protocol on security.
