Content:

The course deals with risks and threats as well as measures to protect communication infrastructures. Based on a basic classification and a delimitation to the content of the basic lecture Network Security, especially the areas of protection of the availability of services and systems, security-compliant system design and implementation, attack detection and reaction to attacks, as well as challenges of network security in environments with special boundary conditions (adhoc networks, sensor networks, etc.) are addressed.

The course is intended for students in the main diploma with previous knowledge in the field of telecommunications. Previous participation in the lecture Network Security is recommended, but not mandatory if you are willing to read some basics on your own (see especially [SR14]).
