NETWORKS AND SECURITY
Course objectives
GENERALI The "Networks and Security" course provides students with a solid theoretical and practical foundation in network architectures, quality of service (QoS), and secure communications. Students will gain an integrated understanding of telecommunication networks, including their multi-layer structure, transport mechanisms, and access solutions, with a strong focus on performance evaluation and optimization of service systems using models and simulation tools. A substantial part of the course is dedicated to the fundamentals of cryptography and to the main security protocols ensuring authentication, confidentiality, and data integrity. Practical activities complement the training with hands-on configuration and management exercises focused on IP routing, traffic measurement, and basic network security. The course aims to train professionals capable of understanding, designing, and securing modern network infrastructures, with attention to real-world performance and security challenges. SPECIFICI • Knowledge and understanding: Students will acquire in-depth knowledge of network architectures, performance analysis techniques, QoS models, cryptographic fundamentals, and communication security protocols. • Applying knowledge and understanding: Students will be able to configure IP networks, evaluate service system performance, and implement security protocols using software tools and laboratory environments. • Making judgments: Students will develop the ability to critically evaluate technological solutions for improving QoS and security in complex telecommunication networks. • Communication skills: Students will be able to clearly and effectively present networking and security problems and solutions in both technical and interdisciplinary contexts. • Learning skills: The course will provide methodological tools to independently explore advanced topics in networking and security and stay updated with the technological evolution of the sector.
