PNS: Protection in Networked Systems ‒ Trust, Resilience, and Privacy

Course content

The lecture Protection in Networked Systems teaches concepts of IT-Security that go beyond individual protection goals. Individual goals – and methods to achieve them, e.g., cryptography – are fundamentals for this lecture and will not be covered. The focus of this lecture is the achievement of advanced protection goals in the context of emerging networked systems.

- Network & System Protection: intrusion detection, endpoint & insider threats, botnet mitigation
- Endpoint Protection: security & privacy for mobile devices, software security
- Computational Trust: models and mechanisms
- Machine Learning and Security
- Privacy Protection: concepts & definitions, privacy in networks and protocols, anonymous communication
- Security & Privacy from an Industry Perspective

This lecture covers important topics which are part of ongoing research in the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity ATHENE and the Research Training Group GRK-2050.
