This seminar deals with current research on improving and supporting IT security and privacy in mobile systems.
We will discuss research that enables new techniques for more secure and trustworthy mobile systems, such as:
- Security analysis and threat models for mobile systems
- Hardware-based security mechanisms
- Attestation of devices - Defence mechanisms against runtime attacks - Security analysis through reverse-engineering - Security protocols for mobile, distributed, wireless communication
The goal of the seminar is to familiarize oneself with a topic of security and privacy in mobile systems, to work it up scientifically and to present it. Afterwards a written report will be prepared. The topics will be announced and distributed during the preliminary discussion.
Learned knowledge of the students:
- know basic terms of different areas of security of IT systems, especially in the area of mobile systems
- understand the typical processes of an attack on IT systems,
- know typical security risks for IT systems, can analyze their threats and take adequate countermeasures.
