Course objectives
This course will cover a number of topics related to the design and implementation of security architectures. The course content will broadly cover the following topics: access control mechanisms; web security; wireless LAN security; mobile (GSM & UMTS) security; identity management. The aim in each of these sessions will be to concentrate on how the security services in the architectures are constructed from underlying technical mechanisms. In addition, we will consider how the implementation of these mechanisms are not always perfect in real world implementations, and how the business requirements of an organisation can impact how we implement security.
