Network Security

The course aims to present, from a critical perspective, the principles underlying the security of computer systems and to analyze the threats to which computing systems in TCP/IP networks are exposed and the possible countermeasures. The main attacks on protocols and network infrastructures will be discussed and analyzed, including attacks based on software vulnerabilities and Web-based attacks.

At the end of the course, students will be able to: Discuss and design the security of networked systems
Analyze TCP/IP protocols from a security perspective
Know the most widespread threats both at the local network level and at the infrastructure level
Know how to defend the privacy of operations in untrusted networks.
