Syllabus
  • This advanced-level course reviews selected topics in IT security in a greater depth. Students are expected to work on several assignments and a term project.
  • This course is given in English. Assignments and the term project are to be handed in also in English, yet final exam answers are accepted in both Czech and English. Guest lectures of industry experts will complement the core topics lectured. Topics include issues related to the following areas:
  • Interaction of security and cryptographic mechanisms, namely of public key techniques. Key management and protocols.
  • Security policies. Risk assessment and analysis. Role of standards and evaluation (criteria).
  • Authentication, namely issues of biometric authentication.
  • Security in communications and networks.
  • Secure hardware, smartcards.
  • Trust, electronic and/vs. real relations.
  • Malware.
  • Security of critical infrastructures.
  • Processing of big data for security operations.

Syllabus
  • This advanced-level course reviews selected topics in IT security in a greater depth. Students are expected to work on several assignments and a term project.
  • This course is given in English. Assignments and the term project are to be handed in also in English, yet final exam answers are accepted in both Czech and English. Topics include issues related to the following areas:
  • Applications of cryptographic mechanisms, namely of public key techniques. Key management and protocols.
  • Security policies. Risk assessment and analysis. Role of standards and evaluation (criteria).
  • Authentication, namely issues of biometric authentication.
  • Security in communications and networks.
  • Secure hardware, smartcards.
  • Security policy and its implementation.
  • Security of critical infrastructures.
  • Other topics according to expert guest lectures (malware, biometrics, big data and security, network firewalls, etc.)
