During autumn 2006 the Seminar on Network Security will focus on security and privacy in pervasive computing. Computing devices are constantly shrinking and becoming invisible parts of our everyday life. The devices we carry include increasing amounts of computing power, various wireless connectivity, and are more and more intelligent. The computing environment is becoming very dynamic, and moving into a decenralized and distributed direction with spontaneous connectivity. The devices are mobile, understand contexts and adapt to the environments the user moves in. In this kind of dynamic environment with various service providers, and groups of users, security of the user's device and the services he wants to make use of become very challenging. Moreover, privacy of the user is a concern, and the handling of these countless keys and certificates becomes a serious usability problem for the average user.
This seminar will look into how the future distributed, dynamic and mobile computing environment can be made secure. Topics include privacy, authentication and accountability, availability, access control, trust management, security protocols, secure computing environments and architectures, integrity and confidentiality, cryptographic algorithms, single sign-on, credentials management, delegation, usability, and various kinds of content protection and digital rights management.
Responsible teacher of the course is professor Jukka Manner, and Laura Takkinen acts as an assistant of the course. Please, use course email address when contacting the teachers.
