2 Overlapping of Materials

After the discussion in working groups it was established that there is no overlap of topics.

All potential overlaps in some themes were excluded due to the greater specificity of themes. For example, studying the topic of IDS in “Adv. Network & Cloud security” course does not consider WIDS, in order that would not overlap such theme in wireless course.

Other topics such as the EAP, VPN, firewalls and certain types of network attacks are considered only in the wireless case, describe its particular features and thus cannot overlap with other courses.

3. Some additions

After the discussion in the working groups we concluded that:

1. The course of “Pentest and ethical hacking (practical aspects)” should be taught before this course. This may be important for consistency of students study. Thus the students will be familiar with common methods of hacking and will get base skills in use of Kali Linux that will be desirable for this wireless course. In our course, they will implement their skills on pentest for wireless networks. Thus it will be continuation the study but applied to wireless themes.
2. It was decided that module 5 is optional. Depending on the needs of a particular university it can be taught or replaced by another theme. Also, this module can be given to students on self-study.
