    The Secure Software Systems Group offers the following courses.

    Security of Software Systems

    A master's level course about fundamental security concepts. The lecture aims to provide an overview of current attacks on modern computer systems, networks and software, as well as the measures implemented to protect against these attacks. The discussed topics include: runtime attacks, web and network security, hardware and side-channel vulnerabilities as well as reverse-engineering concepts and malware.

    Seminars and Practica

    Seminar IT-Security

    A seminar about current topics related to IT-security. We select new topics every semester with a focus on current research. The seminar consists of a report about a topic, a final presentation on the topic and two reviews of fellow students' seminar reports. The topics for each semester are approximately announced two weeks before the start of a semester on WueCampus. The registration is conducted on WueCampus.
