Learning Outcomes
The purpose of the course is to highlight the concept of privacy, especially in relation to personal and / or sensitive data exchanged through open public networks, such as the Internet, in the context of various electronic services. Existing privacy enhancing technologies are introduced and special reference is made to the privacy problems faced by specific categories of applications. The proposed treatment mechanisms are also presented.
In this context, the learning outcomes of the course, after its successful completion, are that the students will be able:
- to understand the basic concepts of privacy and personal data protection as well as how to recognize and analyze privacy requirements.
- to know the basic privacy requirements that need to be taken into account when designing, and to be satisfied in the implementation, of an information system.
- to analyse, evaluate and justify alternative technologies / mechanisms to protect privacy and meet the requirements.
- to design systems that protect the privacy of its users
