Contents

This lecture is an introduction to the field of network security and its fundamental topics like cryptographic operations, threats, and security goals. This knowledge is used further as a starting point and requirements for the design of secure networks. Modern security protocols in modern network protocols and architectures are presented as well as vulnerabilities in existing systems.
