This week we continued to learn about computer networks and the importance of the security layer. We learned about why network security is important and how programs are written to verify communications between network connected clients. I found it particularly interesting to learn the various ways people will try to hack into communications sent between clients and deceive or block those communications. I enjoyed learning about symmetric key and private/public key encryption systems. I also found the lab this week useful in applying what was learned regarding the security layer in out simulated client/sever communications.
This week primarily consisted of the Mid term which encompassed the first three weeks of learning. So far, this class has been challenging, but I am beginning to grasp some of the main concepts. I find that doing a daily review of the materials I have learned helps me to feel a little more confident that I understand. I feel that the main ideas have been computing the time complexity of the algorithm and getting familiar with some established algorithms for solving common problems. I will continue to study the new material and review previous materials to continue to improve.
