Computer Networks - Week 4

    This week in Networking class, I started by learning the principles of network security, focusing on protecting data and systems from unauthorized access. Encryption was the major method as I learned about symmetric key systems and public/private key systems. 

    I also learned about securing the transport layer using SSL/TLS protocols, which provide encryption, authentication, and integrity. I was able to set up a Certificate Authority (CA) in Mininet, learning how about issuing digital certificates. Our team started on a programming assignment to develop a client-server chat program, which will apply the concepts we've learned. Finally, I took the Midterm Exam, assessing my knowledge of the course material.

    Overall, this week covered network security topics, from encryption and email security to SSL/TLS protocols. I enjoyed this week and look forward to next week.
