IT Security and Privacy - Detailseite

This lecture presents an introduction to Security Engineering, Security Management, and Privacy Engineering. The integrated exercises will provide a deeper and practical understanding of the topics discussed in the lecture. The main topics are:

Security Engineering:

· Cryptographic Building Blocks, Cryptanalysis

· Network Security (e.g. Security Protocols, VPN, Firewalls, Intrusion Detection)

· Host-based Security (e.g. Malware, Trusted Computing)

· Case Studies in Security Engineering

 Security Management:

· Security Management Standards (e.g., ISO, Cobit)

· Requirements and Risk Analysis

 Privacy:

· Economics of Security and Privacy

· Legal Aspects of Privacy: Terror, Justice, and Freedom

· Privacy-Enhancing Technologies

· Privacy on the Web
