For this week in my computer network class, we mainly focussed on network security as-well as a little bit of cryptology. We emphasized the importance of secure communication, ensuring confidentiality for message content and verifying the identities of senders and receivers through end-point authentication. We learned about private and public keys and how they are used as key pairs to safeguard data like messages. In relation to this, we also looked at symmetric cryptology and how it relies on a shared secret key, however, this type of cryptology is more vulnerable to attacks.
