Objectives

• To provide knowledge of selected advanced topics in IT systems security
• To give participants practice at investigating topics in the literature and

producing written and oral presentations which distill the essential features of a topic on the basis of a literature study

Course Format

• Combination of lectures and project work.
• Main focus: student's "research projects"
• presentation of this work during the Student

Workshops towards the end of the course

• written as a research paper
• Finally, students will be required to provide peer

review of two other student projects.

Topics

• Topics considered in the courses vary from year to year.
• 2012: security in pervasive computing systems (ubiquitous computing or

ambient intelligence)

• how changes in the computing paradigm affect the common assumptions

made in traditional security

• we will study a number of areas of special interest and examine security

solutions proposed to address the challenges in pervasive computing systems

Research Projects

• Students will be required to define their own “research project”
• A research project:
• analyses a security problem in pervasive computing
• proposes a solution that addresses that problem

The proposed solution should define the security model and present the design for a protocol/mechanism that solves the problem

• No implementation will be required in this course (implementation and

evaluation of the proposed solution may be considered a topic for a subsequent special course)
