10 credits (ECTS) | Type of course
Theoretical and practical subject. | Level of course/Year of study
Normally third year. | Language of instruction
Norwegian | Examination semester
Autumn
| Objectives
By connecting computers together, very large and surprisingly reliable systems can be build. At the fundation of all these endeavors are networking. The course is about properties and technologies for connecting computers
together. As the systems are applied in ever more important environments,
properties related to authenticity and possibly privacy becomes paramount.
The latter implies cryptography. | Contents
The course focuses on properties of communication between
computers, and the machinery needed to faciliate the
communication.
Among the properties are those arising from the uncertainty of
delivery, the omnipresence of errors, and lack of global consistence
and authority. There are many technical solutions; their design and
implementation is discussed.
As computers are used to manipulate "real world" valuables ever
more demans are placed on Authentication, Authorization, and
Auditing. Accross a network, only cryptographic technology can
assist in upholding interesting properties. Both symmetric- and
assymetric encryption will be presented and discussed.
| Form of teaching
Lectures: 30 hours, Colloquium: 30 hours, Laboratory: 30 hours.
Teaching language is Norwegian. | Exam and assessment
The exam includes up to 4 written assignments and a final 4 hours
exam. Oral presentation of the assignments and demonstration of a
working system can be claimed. The grading by letter A-F is
determined by an overall evaluation of the assignments and the
written exam. | Date(s) of written examination
10.12.2007
The exam date is preliminary and may be subject to change. Definitive exam date will be announced on the notice boards at the faculties in the beginning of May for the spring semester and in the beginning of November for the autumn semester. | Recommended reading/syllabus
