Assignment: Telecommunications & Network Security
The Task
You and your group will research an advanced telecommunications and network security topic. For the purpose of this paper, you can pick your own research topic as long as it relates to the objectives of this course. When you decide your topic, you need to obtain my approval.
Your task is to write a report summarizing your research (about 6-10 pages). The writing should be original. Before you begin writing your report, you need to read as many references related to the subject as you can.
