Kuvaus
In addition to exposing the participants to contemporary academic research on the subject matters, the course has a practical engineering focus for developing and maintaining secure and compliant software that conforms with recent regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in particular. In terms of security, the focus is on information security. Acquired knowledge and skills include: - Basic properties of software security (confidentiality, integrity, availability) and the forms of resources to be protected - Software security threats, broad set of basic countermeasures and software related techniques - Knowledge on secure programming principles and supporting tools - A good understanding about information security, including software vulnerabilities and their manifestations in concrete software systems. - The historical, philosophical, and legal background of privacy and data protection. Familiarity with the concept of privacy engineering. - A thorough understanding of the GDPR with a specific focus on software development, compliance, and requirements. - Acquaintance with data privacy and anonymization, including k-anonymity, l-diversity, and differential privacy. - Insights about state-of-the-art academic privacy research.
