Abstract

 

Security has become a primary concern in order to provide protected data transfer in all networking environments. An internetwork security-teachinglaboratory course, which includes both defensive and offensive security laboratory experimentation, is proposed here. This proposed laboratory will be oriented towards an introductory internetworking security class and is intended to complement more theoretical network security classes while motivating student interests and industry needs. The laboratory will be unique in that it uses an isolated laboratory network that attempts to represent the internet as closely aspossible to typical educational laboratories which use only a few physical computers with virtual machines. It is also suggested that all of the laboratory assignments should be made available on internet for general community use and modification. General community expects solution from trained IT-professionals with respect to planning, configuration, implementation and maintenance of secure system for data transmission. Proposed study is an attempt in that direction.
