Security in IP networksAdequate security mechanisms and security politics are perquisite for connecting information systems via private or public IP networks, realization of business transactions in internet networks and maintaining integrity and privacy while using the services. The course presents basic services and mechanisms of data encrypting, mechanisms and procedures for enforcing security of communication services, devices and systems. The practical part of the course includes a demonstration of a PKI concept, an example of breaking WEP encryption and configuration of working IPSec protocol. |
