Fall 2006: Research seminar on trust, security and privacy in the Internet (5 cr) PV

Topic

Trust is the fundamental enabler for information ecosystems where services are consumed and produced. In today's information economy, trust is the necessary foundation for secure interoperability, and central to the successful realization of what's possible on the Web. Unfortunately, the present Internet falls short of this objective in several respects as evidenced by viruses and worms, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and junk mail that plague end users. Another set of threats is created by the increasing data collection practices, compromising users’ privacy. These problems appear to become even more acute if functionalities such as terminal mobility are introduced in the existing Internet infrastructure.

Course requirements

In this research seminar, we will look at recent important publications in the area of Internet security and trust. Participants will make a presentation of two articles on the seminar. Writing and presenting own paper would give additional study credit units. The seminar is meant for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students. A good understanding of Internet protocols and basic security mechanisms is assumed from the participants.

Seminar meetings are Wednesdays 14.15-16 in HIIT Ruoholahti, HTC building PINTA, 6th floor. The course starts on 20th September.
