- Course objectives
- The aim is to teach the students to:
explain the importance of information privacy and to illustrate negative impacts of its breach by examples;
show advantages or disadvantages of basic IT security and privacy methods;
judge impact of IT deployment on personal data and to judge ethical aspects of considered solutions;
explain the importance of proper ways to security from risk analysis, through security policy up to the development and management of mechanisms;
assess suitability of deploying selected tools for security and privacy support. - Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students will be able to:
explain the importance of information privacy and to illustrate negative impacts of its breach by examples;
