Basic knowledge in cryptography might be helpful, as for example Cryptography I. Yet, this is not required.

Contents

This course is about various aspects of security in the internet.

In the internet a large variety of protocols ("chatting programs") are in use to make this or that `secure'. VPN, IPsec, SSL, PKI, PGP are just a few tokens that need explanations. We will try to understand a little of that and how things are used and made available.
