Notes

1. The emphasis of this course will be on network security, and for most of this course, it will be assumed that the underlying cryptographic primitives are secure.
2. As part of the course project, students will be encouraged to either work on a research project or discover vulnerabilities in various real-world networking protocols and propose and/or implement mechanisms to defend against them.
