The next reading assignment is chapter 2, pages 39-68. Focus on the OSI networking model, you will see the seven layers in quizzes and tests. Earmark page 57, we’ll be working with IP and TCP headers a lot in later weeks. For homework, answer review questions 2.1 thru 2.3. There will be a quiz available on Monday covering the material in chapter 1.
Next week’s lab is a departure from the book a little, you’ll want to skim through the web site http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html to learn about Gnu Privacy Guard and public key/private key encryption. I like to sign all official emails to students, so it’s important to get a good working knowledge of gpg.
