Seminar: Selected / Advanced Topics in Network and System Security

This course is offered for both master students in computer science (MICS) and PhD students of FSTC/CSC within the Doctoral Schools of Computer Science and Computer Engineering (DS-CSCE).

This course provides insights into the field of security and privacy in computer networks. The objective is an elaborated and active understanding of distributed vs. centralized communication security and privacy paradigms and their application to cooperative environments. The course creates links between the fundamental concepts and applied scenarios with references to ongoing research activities within the SECAN-Lab research group.

QoS in Computer Networks

The objective of this course is to introduce quantitative measures for network performance (like throughput, error correction, delays, routing) for different network topologies to be applied to security protocols. It also sensibilities for differences between static and dynamic networks as well as centralized and de-centralized topologies concerning reliability and trust issues.
