This course is an obligatory course for Computer Security Master Programme.
The course is in English.
Our goal is to develop knowledge and practical skills for composing secure systems from cryptographic components
according to the risks of all kinds and according to practical needs.
Schedule:
lectures: Monday, 10:15-13 building L1, room 110, and Tuesday: 12:15-14, building L1, room 110
exercises: guided by dr Przemysław Kubiak,
exam:
4.02.2020, 10-12, room 312b/D-1
the second chance:
10.02.2019, 10-12, room 312b/D-1
Official program of the course
(note that the specific topics are adjusted according to the dynamic situation
concerning security technologies):
some electronic teaching material will be available
here, access with a password
Requirements:
Presence during the lectures is obligatory.
The final grade is determined by:
the number of points got for the lab (up to 50 points)
the number of points during written exam (up to 50 points)
after summing them up.
In order to pass the course it is necessary to obtain at least 30% of possible points for the exam
and the number of points for the lab determined by dr Kubiak.
The following scale applies:
[40,50) - 3.0
[50,60 ) - 3.5
[60,70 ) - 4
[70,80 ] - 4.5
over 80 - 5
5.5 will be given for extraodrinary achievements
For written exam the following grades apply for each question:
3: completed - complete and correct answer, insignificant errors or gaps are tolerated
2: major part of the problem solved - problem solved, but with some gaps and non-critical errors,
1: some parts of the problem solved
0: otherwise
The exam will check understanding, skills, creativity related to problem solving.
THe exam will consist of a few questions concering different areas not covered by
the practical exercises during the lab.
It is unnecessary to remember details of algorithms, protocols, technical manuals, ...
but it will be necessary to understand them.
Usually, the details which are hard to remember, will be recalled on the
question sheet. It will be allowed to use any materials on paper (books, notices, ...)
any use of electronic devices will be strictly forbidden unless stated otherwise.
according to the agreement with the students, we shall implement an in-term exam, after
finishing each chapter there will we a short exam concerning these issues
(exception: CC to be checks by the outcome of the project)
The detailed rules for the lab are determined by dr Kubiak.
IPR: no work can be accepted in case of
violation of intelectual property rights by the student.
Goals:
The lecture has two goals:
get skills in creating secure systems out of secure components,
get some practical experience as well as advanced knowledge.
Prerequisitives:
The knowledge and skills from the obligatory courses from Semester 1 are necessary
to follow the material of the course.
Precision, patience and skills in
problem analysis and writing documentation
are very helpful.
Creativity is very welcome. Seeing the whole spectrum of problems
is the most important skill to be learned.
