Yleistä

The course lectures are held by Antti Vähä-Sipilä, who has notable experience in software security from the industry. The course is given in English. From the university side, the course team includes Sini Ruohomaa and Prof. N. Asokan.

The course can be taken by BSc and MSc-level students and included in either degree. At BSc level at UH, you should have passed the Tietorakenteet course and have knowledge equivalent to Tietoliikenteen perusteet (Introduction to data communications) and Käyttöjärjestelmät/Tietokoneen toiminta (Operating systems, Computer organization). See the course learning goals Prequisites column for details.

Due to limited participation, the course will have early registration schedule. We will apply manual student selection (like with seminars), so not just first-come-first-served.

For more information on the course, see the course wiki page.
