This work studies cographs, their representation with cotrees and their different characterisations. By observing their colorings, cographs are proved to be a special case of perfect graphs. In addition, a few linear algorithms that exploit the structure of cotrees are presented. Security domination of a graph is introduced and some properties, crucial for its computation are presented. Two independent algorithms for security domination number of cographs are studied and their linearity is argumented.
