This course focuses on advanced security topics and research in computer networks. It builds on the basic overview of network security covered in previous security courses. Beyond the basics of developing security network communications and applications, this advanced course dives deeper into the theory and practice behind network attack, the growing reality of weaponized zero-day vulnerabilities, and the current state-of-the-art responses. Course work includes reviewing contemporary security research papers, hands-on experiments in defending/attacking networks, and writing analyses.
