CMSC 487 (Network Security) for Fall 2013
There have been several requests to take CMSC 487 by students who have done 421, but not 481. Knowing the full suite of material covered in 481 is not required to do 487, though it would help. However, students do need to have a basic idea of networking concepts specially at layer 3 – IP addresses, hosts, ports -- to the level of being able to deal with sockets and socket programs. If you believe that you know these basic concepts, and are interested in taking the course, please email Dr. Joshi at <joshi@umbc.edu> to request permission. Please list any 400 level courses you have taken, and your GPA. Recall that 421 remains a prerequisite – the only issue is the waiving of 481 as a prerequisite.
