Who should attend: System administrators, developers, end users interested in making sense of the myriad of security options available. Those people interested in determining for themselves which modern security protocols are applicable to their environments, which to pursue, and which may be just a flash in the pan.

In today's fast moving Internet and client server world, security is a critical component of most systems. But security systems are complex and confusing - different systems provide overlapping functionality, and what's popular today may be gone tomorrow. This course describes many of today's most popular network security systems. We describe how the various security protocols work, what value they provide, and how difficult they are to implement. The goal is that attendees should be well equipped to understand which protocols are applicable to their environments and systems, which to pursue in more detail, and which to ignore.

Course topics include:

	Internet/Intranet security issues - confidentiality, authentication, integrity, authorization
	Fundamental technology - encryption, public key, private key, certification
	Low-security systems - basic WWW/HTTP, cookies, classic remote login (telnet/rlogin/rsh), file transfer
