The goal of this assignment is to provide exposure to a typical network security problem.
For the assignment, you are required to implement (or test) a security mechanism and write a report, or to write a research report based on an in-depth analysis (possibly with a case study).
If you choose to complete a research report (not an implementation or a test of a security mechanism) for the assignment, the research report should be of at least 1500 words.
The exact marking scheme will depend on the type of project (e.g. level of implementation required/ non-implementation/ etc). However, the following may be used as some indication:
For implementation projects:
Implementation
Report
For reports which do not involve any implementation:
Format & Presentation
Review of literature and related work
Critical analysis
