70358-01 - Lecture with practical courses: Cyber Security (6 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2026 |
| Further events belonging to these CP |
70358-01 (Lecture with practical courses) 70358-02 (Lecture with practical courses) 70358-03 (Lecture with practical courses) |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Isabel Wagner (isabel.wagner@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | The lecture provides an introduction to concepts and methods in cyber security, focusing on system and network security. The exercises allow students to gain practical experience with applying individual security technologies and with combining them to create secure systems. Indicative list of topics: * Terminology + basic concepts * Cryptography * System + Hardware security * Network security * Wireless security * Web security * Security engineering * Privacy + transparency * Psychology and economics of cyber security |
| Learning objectives | * understand basic concepts of cyber security, including security goals and properties * understand functionality and properties of common security mechanisms for system and network security * analyze security threats to systems * select and apply appropriate security mechanisms in concrete application scenarios |
| Bibliography | Will be announced in the lecture. |

| Admission requirements | Basic knowledge of network protocols, operating systems, and computer architecture, e.g., from the lectures Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, and Distributed Programming and Internet Architecture. The lectures Operating Systems and Distributed Programming and Internet Architecture can be taken in the same semester as Cyber Security. Students who have already obtained credits for "Computer Architecture and Trustworthy Computing"/"Rechnerarchitektur und vertrauenswürdiges Rechnen" (last offered Fall 2022) or "Internet and Security" (last offered Spring 2023) will not be able to get credits for Cyber Security because of overlaps with the security-related parts of those lectures. The new versions of these lectures ("Computer Architecture" (from Fall 2023) and "Distributed Programming and Internet Architecture" (from Spring 2024) are not affected by this restriction. |
