Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:
REQUIRED: basic knowledge in the area of IT security and privacy, such as security goals (CIA), basic protection mechanisms (symmetric and asymmetric cryptography principles), cryptographic hash functions, digital certificates, PKI, basics of SSL/TLS. This knowledge can be acquired through the attendance of the module “Applied IT Security” or similar modules.It is recommended to finish the following modules before starting this module:
Angewandte IT-Sicherheit (WS 2020/2021)
Inhalt:
This course provides insight into the ways in which people interact with IT security. Special attention will be paid to complex environments such as companies, governmental organizations or hospitals. A number of guest talks from practitioners and researchers highlight some of the issues in greater depth. The course covers the following topics:
Terminology of security and privacy, technical and non-technical protection measures
Development and testing of usable security mechanisms (encryption and authentication tools, security policies, security warnings)
Risk perception and decision making in security and privacy context (usage of security software, reaction to security warnings, divulging information in social media)
Economics approach to security and privacy decision making (traditional and behavioral economics)
Trade-offs between the national security and surveillance (psychology behind the EU data retention directive and NSA programs)
Psychological principles of cyber fraud (scams, phishing, social engineering)
Security awareness and user education
Interplay of safety and security in complex systems
Research methods in human factors (qualitative vs. quantitative research, usability testing, experimental design, survey design, interviews)
The exercises aim at deepening the understanding of the topics and are highly relevant for oral examinations. We plan to conduct approximately eight exercises per semester; the rest of the exercises is reserved for the guest talks. A typical exercise consist of two parts:
(1) For each topic, the students receive a homework assignment consisting of practical exercises.
(2) For each topic, the students receive 1-3 papers to read for the next exercise. The papers will be discussed in the class with the teaching assistant.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
Students develop a mindset that naturally takes into account typical psychological and physical characteristics of the users when developing or evaluating security- and privacy-enhancing technologies or policies.
