This major may not be taken at the same time as the majors in Cryptography and Information Security and Communication Networks. However, students are still allowed to select elective courses from these other majors.

Students choosing the major Networking and Security must be able to:

• Understand and explain different devices and protocols used in networking,
• Design, configure and manage computer networks by taking into account application needs,
• Identify large categories of shared and parallel applications as well as their problems and solutions,
• Create shared applications by using appropriate techniques,
• Understand shared system characteristics: parallelism, synchronisation, communication, risk and error models,
• Use the appropriate techniques, algorithms, and languages to understand, model and analyse shared applications,
• Understand and put into place mechanisms (cryptography, protocols) to secure networks and shared systems
