ObjectivesThe goal of this course is to provide the students with a global knowledge on the principles of information security and privacy, including the threats raised by information technologies and the methodology and tools to identitify, analyze and address them. In addition, the students will be trained to adopt a "security mindset", thus enabling them to automatically take information security and privacy into account when designing or anlyzing a system. At the end of the semester, the students will possess the technical and methological skills to perform an information security and privacy oriented analysis of a system and propose solutions to address potential threats.
ContentsThe course will cover the following topics (some being covered by student presentations):
The course will introduce both widely used established text-book concepts and techniques and recently proposed state-of-the-art techniques from scientific publications. The students will be given the opportunity to apply most of the concepts and techniques covered during the lecture through exercise and practical sessions. The course and the course material are in English. French-speaking students can however ask questions and be answered in French. References[1] Ross Anderson. 2021.
