- Synopsis:
-
The course is divided into two complementary parts modern network technologies and computer network security. The first part is devoted to explaining the principles of modern network technologies and communication protocols that enable high throughput, low latency, and fault tolerance. The lectures also cover the principles of modern software-defined networks, which are gradually replacing traditional networks. The first part concludes with an explanation of protocols and technologies designed for real-time video and voice transmission.
In the second part, the basic principles and technologies that support and enhance computer network security are introduced. Subsequent lectures focus on explaining the principles of well-known network attacks in local area networks and on the Internet. Finally, modern systems for detecting and mitigating network attacks are presented, including systems for sharing information that make it possible to prevent network attacks proactively. Students gain hands-on experience with these concepts in the network laboratory.
