Learning outcomes in terms of abilities, skills and attitudes expected at the end of the course

be able to interconnect Ethernet networks using bridges supporting loop avoidance using the Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D) and to share links using VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q standard). be able to interconnect IP networks using static and dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF and BGP protocols), designing appropriate addressing schemes. Combine the two previous concepts to perform inter-VLAN routing. be able to build such networks using professional equipment. be able to define a network architecture that respects quality of service. (C3,N3) (C4,N3) (C5,N3) (C7,N2)
be able to choose the right cryptological tools to ensure the desired security objectives for electronic communications. be able to detect basic attacks, e.g. based on phishing, and manipulate the notion of public-key certificate, including in cases of chaining and cross-certification. be able to build, using professional equipment, a VPN system using IPSec for secure connection of nomad users to a central site.
