My Course Reflection

I took this course in Fall 2022. This course was a great introduction to the principles and practice of computer and network security. The most takeway from this course was understanding the importance of cryptography, privacy, and network security. The course covered cryptography like SHA and AES, public key infrastructure, and network security like firewalls, malwares, and so on. For the final project, I worked on a research paper on the topic of SQL Injection, which you can find the report from the link.
