Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with selected hot topics of networks in field of routing and security. The first domain consists of overview of modern routing protocols, routing in MANET (Mobile ad-hoc) networks and new opportunities in SDN (Software-defined networks). The second one is focused on security issues, anomaly detection, standard modern cryptography approach and promising QKD (Quantum key distribution). Upon completion of this course, students should be able to design, implement and solve selected tasks in domains of routing and security of networks.

Summary
The course deals with three main domains. The first one is devoted to Ad-hoc networks, especially routing algorithms and techniques in dynamically changing the topology of nodes. The second is focused on software-defined networks and the detection of anomalies in traffic. The last domain deals with approaches to conventional cryptography based on computational complexity and also to future cryptography based on keys' distribution using principles of quantum mechanics.
