Security
The Security core lecture ("Stammvorlesung") will be offered in winter term '21/'22. There is a short teaser video for the lecture (from last year, so there will be some changes to content as Dr. Krombholz is taking over from Dr. Pellegrino).
The kick-off lecture on the 20th of October will be held in a hybrid format; hence we will stream the lecture from GHH.
In the first two weeks of the lecture, we will try different formats (online, hybrid, in person) and see what works best for most of the students and the lecturers to guarantee the best possible learning experience. After the first two weeks, we will send out a survey to ask for feedback and your preference and constraints for planning the remainder of the semester.
For the rest of the semester, our periodic schedule for the two lectures a week will be:
Registration in this CMS is required until 27.10.2021 at 4pm. LSF exam registration is required to participate in the exams (and will be possible until ~1 week before the finals).
Tutorials will start in the week of November 8 and will be held bi-weekly. We will offer both in-person and online tutorials. We will soon provide registrations for Tutorials via CMS.
Advanced Lecture: Usable Security
In this lecture, you will learn about human-centric aspects of IT security. Besides research and design methods, you will learn about hot topics in usable security such as authentication, encryption and privacy.
Seminar: Designing Usable Security
The goal of this seminar is to understand usable security challenges based on user studies from scientific literature, identify the design space based on these studies and propose potential design approaches for user-friendly security and privacy technology.
