This document outlines the topics and structure of a course on TCP/IP and network security. The course is divided into 5 units covering topics such as the working of core TCP/IP protocols like DNS, HTTP, and FTP, security issues and solutions at different layers of the TCP/IP stack including the application, network, and link layers, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security models. The course is worth 3 credits and includes 40 hours of teaching divided among the various units along with assignments and a final exam. Recommended textbooks on computer networks and TCP/IP protocols are also listed.
