MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

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 

Requisiti

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


Obiettivi di apprendimento

  • 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
