    This document provides a course description for the Network Security course offered by the Department of Information Technology at the University of Gujrat. The 3 credit, core course aims to provide students with an understanding of cryptography, network security weaknesses, and security implementation for email, IP addressing, web and networks. Over 16 weeks, topics will include symmetric and public key cryptography, encryption algorithms, digital signatures, firewalls, intrusion detection, and web security. Assessment will include assignments, quizzes, term projects and a final exam. The goal is for students to understand different attacks and security mechanisms, and to be able to implement secure network designs.
