Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• The students have an in-depth understanding of the different security problems in networks (including terminology, security goals, security services, communication model, network security model, attacker model, difference between safety and security).
• They know the essential security risks in networks and distributed systems and can assess their significance.
• They have detailed knowledge about different types of attacks in networks and their classification.
• They know important encryption techniques: substitution ciphers (Caesar, Vigenère, etc.), Enigma, One-Time Pad, stream ciphers (General Structure, RC4), block ciphers (Feistel Networks, DES, AES), operating modes (ECB, CBC, PCBC, CFB, OFB, Counter), padding, asymmetric systems (Diffie-Hellmann, RSA) and can apply them with the help of tools.
• They know the relevant security services such as confidentiality, integrity or authenticity and can describe them in detail.
• They understand the principle of electronic and digital signatures and public key infrastructures and know important standards (e.g. X.509).
• They know the different security solutions on the different layers of the ISO/OSI stack.
• They know firewalls and their deployment scenarios as well as the essential products. They have basic knowledge of how to configure firewalls.
• They know the basic organizational and regulatory measures to implement network security in a company (IT Baseline Security, ITIL Security).
• They know the basic processes of computer forensics.
• They are able to use incident-response tools to determine the cause and originator of a damage event.
• They can perform the essential steps necessary after a damage event.
• Students are able to hold subject-specific discussions in English and can follow subject-specific talks.
