No further requirements in addition to those needed to be admitted in the Master Course.

This course contributes to the following learning outcomes: Given a system with security requirements established to propose mechanisms and protocols required to provide some basic security services: authentication, authorization, privacy and access control. Give a measure of their effectiveness and limitations. Explain the security issues related to personal mobile devices in a given professional environment and apply the studied techniques to the secure systems engineering Evaluate the security architecture of a given vulnerable system and propose improvements. To design and evaluate appropriate measures for the identification and authentication of users and management of identities and associated authorizations. Understand legal and technical aspects related to cybersecurity.

During this course the student will acquire the technical knowledge about identification and authentication processes. He/she will get familiar with the different identification and authentication schemes and devices, including the major biometric modalities and the identity management systems. Finally the main concepts related to privacy and legal environment will be given, related to identification and authentication. Programme: 1. User authentication 1.1. Concepts and definitions 1.2.
