Security and Cloud Computing - Computer, Communication and Information Sciences, Master of Science (Technology)

Studies in Security and Cloud Computing give students a broad understanding of the latest and future technologies for secure mobile and cloud computing systems. Students will gain both practical engineering knowledge and theoretical insights into

• secure systems engineering,
• distributed application development,
• network and service architectures, and
• mobile and cloud platforms.

The programme combines theoretical knowledge and security expertise with product development skills.

Content of the studies

The major covers fundamental concepts, methods and the latest technologies on secure systems engineering, distributed application development, ubiquitous computing, network and service architectures, ubiquitous computing, and cloud and mobile computing platforms.

The studies are closely bound to the research conducted by the teachers, for example, on the Internet of Things, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, cloud platforms and services, mobile platform security, and network security. Special attention is paid to security and privacy issues as they are critical requirements in developing and deploying services in open networks and distributed systems.

The teaching methods combine theory with hands-on exercises and software development on mobile devices and cloud platforms.

As learning outcomes, the students of Security and Cloud Computing major will

• have the theoretical understanding of information security and practical skills necessary for designing and analyzing secure computing systems;
• understand the architectural principles of distributed services and applications.
