In the fall semester of 2006, Dr. Hiroshi Fujinoki of the Computer Science Dept. will be teaching a class in network security. This course approaches network security from both a theoretical and practical angle. The theoretical study will include a discussion of core network security concepts and a literature review. While the practical study will focus on security incident case studies and the use of network security tools such as firewalls, encryption, and digital signatures.

William Stallings"Network Security Essentials" will be the primary text for this class. This class is listed as a CS490 Topics in Computer Science class and is open to students who have completed CS414 and CS447.
