CNSA 172: Web Technologies & Network Security Fundamentals

(3 Credits)

 

The Internet is a global IP network. The World Wide Web is a collection of Web servers that are attached to the Internet. The Web servers serve HTML pages via the Internet to Web browsers like Internet Explorer and Netscape. In this course, students learn how to configure a Microsoft server to become a Web server. They learn how to write HTML-coded pages that they can place on their Web server and will progress to use an advanced web development tool to create a complete Web site.

 

Since security becomes an ever increasingly important issue in our times, some of the security measures that we commonly use on the Internet (but often don’t realize it) are also covered in this course. These security measures include an overview of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), digital certificates, hash codes, and digital signatures. Prerequisite: CNSA 166
