CSCI 350 - Computer Networks & Security

4 credits
Overview of the underlying technologies that support the internet and its 5-layer model of protocols: Application Layer (HTTP & REST, DNS); Transport Layer (TCP, UDP, connection management, reliable data transfer, flow control, congestion control, sockets); Network Layer (routing algorithms, IP, DHCP, NATs); Data Link Layer (Ethernet, ARP, switches, CDMA), and Physical Layer (analog vs digital transmission, packet vs circuit switching, multiplexing, end-to-end delays). Students will have the opportunity to investigate network and application-level security vulnerabilities, how to avoid them, as well as learn the fundamentals of cryptography. Prerequisite: CSCI 151  or CSCI 230
