This course will focus on Security and Quality of Service (QoS) in Internet network from technology, regulation and business aspects. It will cover Internet fundamentals, including Internet protocols and architectures, Internet security standards and approaches as defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), as well as ITU’s security architectures for end-to-end communications. Further, the course will incorporate cybersecurity approaches from the ITU viewpoint, and security aspects of emerging cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT). Further, the course will incorporate Internet QoS, including the standardized solutions and practical approaches for provision of end-to-end QoS. In that manner, it will cover QoS parameters as defined by the ITU and QoS for data (i.e., Over-The-Top services) and mobile services. Finally, the course will include network neutrality, Internet KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and their measurements.

This course is targeted at managers, engineers and employees from regulators, government organizations, telecommunication companies and academia, who are interested in understanding, implementation and regulation of Security and QoS in Internet Network, including technologies, standardization, regulation and content. Other institutions and individuals that are dedicated in building their capacity related to Security and QoS in Internet Network are also welcome to participate.

No prior knowledge or qualification is required to register for this course, considering the given target population.

At the end of the training, the participant should have gained an understanding
of the key aspects of:

• Internet fundamentals
• Internet security by IETF
• ITU’s security architectures providing end-to-end communications
• Cybersecurity
• Cloud coumputing and Internet of Things (IoT) security
• Internet QoS
• QoS parameters
• QoS for data and mobile broadband services
• Network neutrality and Internet KPIs measurements

This course will be delivered using instructor-led online learning. The course methodology will be as follows:

• Each day from 19 to 26 August 2024 there will be made available two recorded video lectures, which are recorded in the face-to-face ITU Centre of Excellence workshop organized by National Institute of Telecommunications in Poland. In total, there are 10 video lectures during the course.
• Discussion forum will be organized based on discussion topics given on a daily basis, where students are highly encouraged to participate and interact with instructors and other students.
• Final Quiz test will be assigned on the last day of the course, 26 August 2024.
• All announcements for all events (lectures, quiz and forum) will be given in a timely manner (prior to the event) by the course tutor.

On the last day of the course a Final Quiz test will be assigned. It will consist of 20 questions (multiple choices).

The Final Quiz will be open from 00:00 hours on Monday (26th of August 2024) according to the GMT+1 time, and will remain open for 30 hours after opening, so each participant can choose the most convenient time to solve it. However, after the start of the attempt the Quiz should be completed in 90 minutes.

The Final Quiz is passed with a grade of 70% or higher. The course evaluation for obtaining the ITU certificate is based primarily on the results from the Final Quiz, however, replies to the raised discussion topics in the course forum may also be considered in the evaluation process.

Each fully registered participant who successfully completes the course with a total grade of 70% or higher will receive an ITU Certificate for this course.
