Contents
The lecture deals with methods, tools and processes for the development of software systems that should be secure and reliable against malicious attacks and wrong inputs. The following topics will be covered:
1. cryptography
2. authentication & access control
3. vulnerability classes
4. OS security
5. mobile device security
6. network security
7. network attacks
8. malicious software
9. reverse engineering
10. web security
11. privacy
Qualification Goals
The aim of the module is to enable listeners to understand malicious attacks on software systems. After visiting the module, listeners should be able to design and implement secure software systems. The students practice scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, training abstract ability) and train oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Object-oriented Programming, either Algorithms and Data Structures or Practical Informatics II: Data Structures and Algorithms for Pre-Service-Teachers, System Software and Computer Communication.
