Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this class, students will further study topics presented in the lecture by working out problems and presenting the solutions in class. Additionally, students will get the opportunity to work on a network security-related project of their choice. This project should have a practical aspect and result in a software-based deliverable (e.g., prototype implementation or data analysis scripts).  Finally, students will present their projects to the class and write a written report. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to) cloud security, security data analysis, firewalls, software-defined networking, and intrusion detection. Students are expected to have a solid understanding of networking principles and knowledge about the most common network protocols. Having completed both VO and UE 'Network Technologies' is highly recommended.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be based on presentations of problem solutions followed by questions, short written quizzes covering the contents of the problem sheets, quality of project proposals, project presentations, and final reports. Students have to mark which problems they have prepared and are ready to present ahead of the class on Moodle.

Weight of assessments to final grade:
- 50% semester project (5% proposal, 10% mid-term presentation, 15% final presentation, 20% final report)
- 15% presentation of problem solutions (1 presentation per student during semester)
- 30% tests
- 5% other oral contributions (questions, class discussions)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
