Networking and Security [30.0]

This option cannot be validated together with the options « Cryptography and information security » or « Communication Networks ». Students are however allowed to choose elective courses from these other options.

Students who have completed the "Networking and security" option will be able to :

• Understand and explain the various devices and protocols used in computer networks.
• Design, configure and manage computer networks by taking into account the needs of the application.
• Identify the major classes of distributed and parallel applications, the problems involved and the appropriate solutions.
• Create distributed applications by putting in practice the appropriate means and techniques.
• Understand the characteristics of distributed systems: parallelism, synchronisation, communication, synchronisation, models of misconduct and threats.
• Use techniques, algorithms and dedicated languages to design, model and analyse distributed applications.
• Understand and implement the mechanisms (cryptography, protocols, ...) to secure networks and distributed systems.
