Third: Course Description
The aim of this course is to give students a basic knowledge of several security protocols used in the cybersecurity industry. In particular, it introduces the protocol concept in general. It revises the OSI Model protocols and TCP/IP Model protocols. A number of security protocols are then discussed in detail which is related to the network layers, in general. Other Authentications protocols will also be discussed.
Moreover, some protocols will be discussed which are specific for cloud-based communications,
multimedia streaming, mobile communications, and wireless networks security. Some of the protocols
which will be discussed in this course are Secure Sockets Layer/ Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS),
Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), Secure Shell Protocol (SSH), IPSec, Host Intrusion
Prevention (HIP), Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS), OpenID, OAuth, Single Sign-On (SSO), and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
