A Standards and Protocols course explores the foundational rules and guidelines that ensure efficient, secure, and interoperable communication in computing and networking systems. The course begins by differentiating between standards (formalized rules for consistency) and protocols (specific rules for data exchange), emphasizing their role in maintaining compatibility across devices and networks. Key networking protocols, such as those in the TCP/IP suite (IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, DNS) and the OSI model, are examined in depth, alongside wireless standards like Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), Wimax (IEEE 802.16) and Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1). The course also delves into internet and web standards, including HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, and FTP) . Additionally, the course introduces major standardization bodies like ISO, IEEE, , and ITU-T, explaining their roles in shaping global technology standards. By the end of the course, students gain a thorough understanding of how protocols and standards enable reliable communication, along with the ability to analyze, implement, and secure networked systems effectively. This knowledge is crucial for professionals in networking, cybersecurity, and software development.
