Well straight to the point. Im(Teacher Assistant) helping a teacher to formulate a class in the fall and it will offer an introduction to computer and network security. I was asked by the teacher to do some reasearch and provide him with what i would feel is a good structure for the class. So far this is what i have:

- A simple introduction to what computer, network, information and internet security is about.
- Cryptography (Information)
- Anti software (computer)
- Updates and upgrades (Computer)
- Firewalls (Network, computer)
- IDS (Network)
- Authentication (Network)
- Web Security (internet)

I've been looking into security for a little while and i would appreciate any advice on the structure i should follow in my research and offer to the teacher. And if anyone has some more detailed advice about any of the sections please let me know.

Thanks
