Course objectives
Students work an various aspects of cryptography and IT security, also help with the research projects of the lab (LaBAK - the Laboratory of security and applied cryptography).
Syllabus
  • Biometric systems (error rates, keyboard typing, voice verification, face recognition, fingerprints and their security, calculation of error rates). Network security (eavesdropping, security of active network entities, IDS systems, vulnerability scanning, wireless networks). Security of operating systems (Windows, Linux, rootkits, viruses, web applications).
