Course detail
System and Device Security
FEKT-DPC-BSZAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course deals with the security of embedded systems, smart devices and side-channel cryptanalysis. In particular, these topics are included: authentication systems, authentication tokens (basic types, attacks on smart cards, RFID tags), hardware security modules (HSM), programmable smart cards (.NET Cards, Java Cards, MULTOS cards), the security of smart devices (smartphones, smart watches), security systems using embedded devices (single-chip devices, microcontrollers, sensors), lightweight cryptography for compute-constrained devices, side-channel cryptanalysis, countermeasures against side-channel attacks, reverse engineering, software security (source code security) and safety assessment methodologies.
