Description

Students learn the basics of cryptography, privacy-preserving mechanisms, legal aspects of IT security, system security, and Web security. They learn to define security goals and are familiarized with the most common attack scenarios.

Assignments and Grading

There will be both theoretical exercise sheets and practical projects. For passing the course, the following minimal amount of points is needed:

  • 50% of the points from the theoretical exercise sheets; and
  • 50% of the points from the practical projects; and
  • 50% of the points from the final exam.

To be admitted to the exam, you need at least 50% of the points from the theoretical exercise sheets and 50% of the points from the practical projects.

Your final grade (in percent) G is calculated by

  • G = 0.2P + 0.2T + 0.6 max{F,B}

where P is the final percentage from your practical projects, T is the final percentage from your theoretical exercises, F is the final percentage from your final exam and B is the final percentage from your backup exam.
