Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Other information
INGI2347 vs INGI2144
- Class INGI2347 is an introductory to computer system and network security, while class INGI2144 is an advanced course on application security.
- LINGI2141 or eventually LELEC2920 : Background in computer networks
- LFSAB1402 : Basic knowledge in programming
- INFO2MS and SINF2MS students are both compliant with these prerequisites. Student who do not know if their background allows them the attend the course (e.g. students from ELEC, ELME or MAP) should contact the teaching assistant or lecturer.
- Weaknesses in network can be filled by reading the book "Computer Network" by Andew Tanenbaum. The most important topics that will be used in INGI2347 are: SMTP, Telnet, IP, TCP, ARP, MAC, OSI layered model.
