| Aim: The course provides deeper studies in selected topics in the area of information security. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Basic course in security (e.g. TSIT84). Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course consists of two parts, an overview part and an individual deeper studies part. The overview consists mainly of lectures and a study of literature. The deeper studies consist of a project in a sub-field of information security. The course will cover the whole spring term. |
|||
| Course contents: Part 1: This part deals with theory and is based on lectures and a literature study. The detailed contents can vary from year to year based on the current research in the field and the ongoing research at LiU. Topics may include: security mechanisms for modern communication systems (e.g. fingerprinting and watermarking), security in mobile systems (e.g. security in IEEE 802.11), system and software integrity (e.g. covert channels, buffer overflow, and viruses), modern identification and authentication mechanisms (e.g. biometric authentication), security standards (e.g. Common Criteria) and analysis methodologies (e.g. Fault Tree Analysis), and standards and common implementations in the field (e.g. access control in Radio Access Networks). Part 2: In this part students will perform projects, which can be of theoretical or practical nature. The subjects of the projects will be from the topics studied in part 1 or other topics within the field. |
