Registration in StudOn will be opened till 14th April. Please write a short (not more than one page) application for the course (PDF or plain text format). We are going to choose participants on the grounds of their applications. Please mention following things:
Your study subject (e.g., Informatik, IuK, IIS)
Currently pursued degree (e.g., Bachelor/Master) and Semester
Computer security related courses that you took in the past (e.g., courses offered by LS Informatik 1, IT security classes at other universities, cryptology)
Other experiences with IT security
Why are you interested in taking the course
You will be notified about the selection result on the night of 15th April. Participation in exercise is mandatory.
First exercise will take place on 18th April. Only around 6 exercises will take place, the exact schedule will be fixed in the 1st exercise on 18th April. Preliminary exercise schedule: 18.04., 25.04., 16.05., 20.06., 11.07., 18.07. In the exercise, interdisciplinary working groups will be formed. Under the supervision of the instructors, each group will plan and conduct a user experiment that would give them a hands-on experience in working with non-technical users and understanding how these users think about security. Students will be required to read 1-2 papers for each exercise and discuss them in the class. The conduction of the user experiment will require group work outside the class hours.

Special attention will be paid to complex environments such as companies, governmental organizations and healthcare systems.
The course will cover the following topics:
Terminology of security and privacy, personal and private data, legal background
Usability of security measures (password policies, security settings, security warnings)
Attitudes to privacy (e.g., in social networks)
Deception techniques (e.g., phishing, social engineering)
Security and privacy in the age of pervasive computing (RFID, mobile phones, ambient intelligence, Internet of Things)
Risk management in complex environments
