Lehrveranstaltung Networked Systems Security (Seminar)

The seminar will be held online. First online meeting: Friday 21.10.2022, 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. The link to the meeting will be published in ISIS.

The final presentations will be held in presence. The place and room will be announced in ISIS.

The successful completion of the seminar enables the participants to understand, summarize and present recent, complex, and professional literature on network security, including Internet security, security of wireless and cellular networks, as well as security of networked systems more generally. Furthermore, every participant acquires profound knowledge in his/her small topic.

During the seminar, students acquire scientific knowledge starting with a topic of their choosing. Then, they present the acquired knowledge of the research area in a written report and in a talk. The key benefits for the students are to learn to review original scientific literature and common practices as well as train their communication skills in written and oral forms in a professional context. The participation in the seminar includes continuous attendance and active participation in addition to the written report and talk on an accepted paper.

Communication networks such as the Internet, enterprise networks, data center networks, or wireless networks, have become a critical infrastructure of our digital society. Accordingly, the networks need to meet stringent dependability and security requirements. Network security is hence crucial and revolves around the policies, processes and practices adopted to prevent, detect and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. 

The goal of this seminar is to get an understanding of the state-of-the-art technology used by both attackers and defenders of networks. To this end, we will critically discuss recent scientific publications in this area, review open-source implementations, and study whether existing methodologies and evaluations can be reproduced. The seminar hence will consist of discussions, presentations and hands-on and research components.
