Prérequis

Students are required to have good knowledge in network protocols, general networking, and network architectures.

Contenu

This course addresses both security and privacy in networks, under practical and theoretical dimensions. After positioning security vs privacy, some fundamental mechanisms are presented for securing networks (IPsec, SSL, VPN, PKI, filtering), and for preserving privacy in networks and digital identity management (TOR, blind and group signature). Useful basis as well as research aspects (RFID, cloud computing) are given through labs, exercises and lectures.

Evaluation

The evaluation includes a 2 hour written exam and a lab.
The final grade is computed based on the following ratio: ¾ (exam) and ¼ (lab).
No extra exam is scheduled.
