A discussion of network security technologies and issues.

Text:

• Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World
  Charlie Kaufman, Radia Perlman, Mike Speciner
  (Prentice Hall seris in computer networking and distributed systems. ISBN 0-13-061466-1)
• Firewalls and Internet Security : Repelling the Wily Hacker
  William R. Cheswick, Steven M. Bellovin
  (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

Syllabus:
The coverage of topics will be vaguely the same as the Network Security book. However, we will wander on and off topic, and make substitutions in material, as suggested by class discussion.

Grading:
Class grade is entirely by participation. Each participant will be assigned an area of expertise. He or she will make presentations and be asked to make further research in the assigned area based on questions raised in class.
