MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Jedes Modul umfasst 3 ECTS. Sie wählen insgesamt 10 Module/30 ECTS in den folgenden Modulkategorien:

  • ​​​​12-15 ECTS in Technisch-wissenschaftlichen Modulen (TSM)
    TSM-Module vermitteln Ihnen profilspezifische Fachkompetenz und ergänzen die dezentralen Vertiefungsmodule.
  • 9-12 ECTS in Erweiterten theoretischen Grundlagen (FTP)
    FTP-Module behandeln theoretische Grundlagen wie die höhere Mathematik, Physik, Informationstheorie, Chemie usw. Sie erweitern Ihre abstrakte, wissenschaftliche Tiefe und tragen dazu bei, den für die Innovation wichtigen Bogen zwischen Abstraktion und Anwendung spannen zu können.
  • 6-9 ECTS in Kontextmodulen (CM)
    CM-Module vermitteln Ihnen Zusatzkompetenzen aus Bereichen wie Technologiemanagement, Betriebswirtschaft, Kommunikation, Projektmanagement, Patentrecht, Vertragsrecht usw.

Cyber Security (TSM_CyberSec)

The course will

first give the necessary background knowledge in the field of

cybersecurity such as CIA and availability as well as data security. Thereby,

the module will define a threat and risk assessment accompanied with main

security standards and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

 Based on that, it will go in

deep to permit the student to have a complete overview how identify and list threats

and risks. Then, the student will be able to propose and implement a list of

mitigation mechanisms. This will be applied in three security fields: software

development, software security and web security based on tools.

 

 The course

covers the following core topics: 

 

 

  • Reminder of basic knowledge about security 
  • Security development 
  • Software security
  • Web security 

Eintrittskompetenzen

  • Cryptography basics
  • Knowledge of at least one programming language, such as C, Python, Java


Lernziele

  • Understand and choose the appropriate cryptographic primitive(s)
  • Identify and list the threats and risks of a system and propose different kind of mitigation mechanisms
  • Understand, apply and use processes and tools towards secure development
  • Understand, identify vulnerabilities in software and web applications then propose mitigations
