NETWORK SECURITY AND TEST
This course is currently focused on network security. In order to understand the network security problem, the security section will begin with a review of various forms of network attacks including scanning, exploits and denial-of-service attacks. We will also review various cryptographic mechanisms like symmetric encryption, message digests, and public key crypto. We then turn to network-side security management including both passive measures like firewall defense schemes including packet virtualrs, and bastion hosts. design a complete secure network using firewalls and security options is major point of this course.
