Network Protocol Design (ITC8061, 6 ECTS)

This module focuses on fundamental problems of network protocols and various design decisions and it's implications. This will also include security related protocols and give a better understanding why it is sometimes so hard to secure the Internet. As an exercise we will develop and implement our own protocol.

This module requires some programming skills (or a LOT of motivation to spend a LOT of time on learning algorithms and programming languages on top of the network-protocol related challenges). See also here for more detailed information.

The lectures and seminar discussions will be Tuesdays, 14.00-15.30 in room is ICT-315. Furthermore, we have ICT-401 on Tuesdays 16.00-18.00 for coding related questions, time to work on the implementation and assignments.

As an online collaboration and communication platform the following system was proposed by members of the group: https://trello.com/invite/ivcm/31243ce599556926111ef1bc850d12d1
