Description of contents: programme
Electronic security systems. Security is a growing need in today's society. Electronic systems are contributing greatly to the improvement of safety in the individual mobility, banking, information exchange form. Different people recognition techniques for use in identification systems (compared to a database) or authentication is described. There will be a greater emphasis on technology Smart Card and Biometric Recognition in (fingerprint, iris, voice, face, etc..). Different complementary techniques taking into account requirements of cost, speed and consumption are also described. Existing mechanisms to ensure confidentiality and authentication of the information security will be studied, as well as access to information and services. Finally the evaluation of these solutions will be discussed, as well as potential points of vulnerability and the main strategies to combat fraud. program: 1 - Introduction to Identification Systems 2 - Identification Cards 3 - Smart Cards 4 - Security in Information Transmission 5 - Biometric Identification
Learning activities and methodology
LEARNING ACTIVITIES: - Theoretical lectures - Theoretical-Practical lectures - Office hours - Work-sharing homework - Individual homework METHODOLOGY: - Professor dissertations using computer and audiovisual means, explaining the main concepts involved and providing those relevant references to allow students to get more in depth in the subject. - Critical reading of international references recommended by the professor. - Journal papers, reports and manuals for further discussion in class, to enhance and consolidate the knowledge acquired. - Solving practical cases, presented by the professor to the students either individually or in groups - Presentation and discussion in class, under the moderation of the professor, of subjects related to the course. - Development of individual or group reports.
