This document outlines the course objectives and contents for a Network Security course at the University of Okara. The course will introduce computer and network security concepts over 10 lectures, including topics like cryptography, encryption algorithms, digital signatures, key management, hashing, VPNs, firewalls, and viruses. Students will complete 3 assignments, 3 exercises per lecture, a final project, and case study. The course aims to explain network security in the context of protecting network resources and data, rather than just computers or individual data. It will also cover the history and basic definitions of security, like defining it as protecting systems from harm and preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
