Learning Objective
Here you will find information on the aims of this course and its content.

Understanding the basics of IT security
You will develop a solid understanding of the fundamental, practice-relevant concepts and principles of IT security. This includes security modeling, threat and risk assessment, and the specification of security objectives. We will also look at cryptographic methods, the design of security protocols, and authentication mechanisms that provide the essential toolbox for achieving security objectives.

Application of security measures in practice
You will learn to analyze, develop, and implement security measures in real-world scenarios. This includes discussing real-world security problems, developing possible solutions, and applying security principles to specific situations.

Mastering advanced security concepts and techniques
You learn to apply advanced security concepts and techniques such as system hardening, random number generation, access control mechanisms, and exploit protection mechanisms. This will enable you to analyze complex security problems and develop effective security solutions.
