OVERVIEW

This Course integrates technological skills in the area of electronics for security. Notions related to theory and implementation of cryptosystems are combined with applications of computer-security, ranging from digital signature to computer forensics. At the same time, the course also provides professional and scientific competence in the design, realization and testing of electronic systems with advanced sensor abilities.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Basic Notions in Cryptology. Algorithms and cryptosystems. Computer security Protocols (digital signature, electronic voting). Embedded electronics for security (smartcards, biometry).

Cyber security and techniques for the protection of networked infrastructures, especially corporate-size. Electronics tools for computer forensics, advanced methods for intelligence.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

This class aims to provide awareness about CyberSecurity and a professional profile endowed with technical insights.

The specific learning outcomes include:

- State of the Art algorithms, together with implementation capabilities in digital architectures

- modern service protocols such as Digital Signature, two-factor Authentication, and Electronic Vote

- security of complex systems, intergated with technical and behavioural competences

The learning outcomes will be verified through a battery of tests covering the whole teaching program.
