Rechnernetze und IT-Sicherheit

What it is about

You learn fundamentals of computer networks and IT security through the layered network architecture. In the end you will be able to explain important protocols and mechanisms of the individual layers, describe fundamental security mechanisms and encryption principles, as well as implement selected protocols and assess their performance.

What you will be able to do

• Understand technologies and methods of computer networks
• Explain protocol mechanisms in the layers of the network architecture
• Understand fundamental security mechanisms and encryption protocols
• Determine the performance of selected networks and security mechanisms
• Implement individual protocol mechanisms

What the module consists of

• VorlesungProviding the basic knowledge on computer networks and security with demonstrations and live programming
• TutorübungenDeepening the lecture content and application through exercises
• ProgrammieraufgabenComputer-assisted deepening and practical application through implementation of protocol mechanisms
• Midterm-KlausurMotivation for continuous engagement with the content

Teaching method

• Interaktive Vorlesung (Folien, Animationen, Vorführungen, Live-Programmierung)Presents the basic knowledge and illustrates concepts through examples and code demos
• QuizzeChecks whether you have understood basic terms and relationships
• Begleitende TutorübungenDeepen understanding through exercises and show application of methods
• ProgrammieraufgabenEnable practical application and deepen conceptual knowledge
