| Learning objectives: |
Participants know the major threats to security and privacy in mobile systems and know how to select and design suitable security mechanisms to protect from such threats. They are capable of analyzing the security of mobile communication systems and wireless networks on all layers. They can identify and analyze weaknesses and understand the presented attacks. Furthermore, students can propose and discuss possible security solutions to protect systems appropriately. Beyond, they understand the role and importance of location privacy and data protection in mobile systems and are familiar with the most important privacy enhancing technologies to protect location privacy.
Recent research topics in mobile systems security and privacy are discussed based on current scientific publications and by that the course also introduces students into the skills required to work with and discuss about scientific literature.
The lab recapitulates the topics of the lecture with a more practical approach and also verifies learned knowledge in more theoretical assignments. At the same time, the lab also includes practical hands-on exercises where students have the opportunity to apply the learned knowledge on real mobile communication systems. |
| Content: |
The course provides a deepened discussion of security and privacy for mobile systems. After an introduction into the specifics of mobile systems, the course continues with discussing specific security and privacy requirements. The lecture is composed of two main blocks. The first block introduces and discusses security issues and security mechanisms of established mobile communication systems such as WLAN, cellular networks, Bluetooth, or RFID. In the second part, the lecture provides an introduction to current research topics related to mobile security and privacy, e.g., in the areas of mobile ad-hoc networks or VANETs. |
