Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the concept of security in mobile / wireless communications. Mobile / wireless communications provide mobile users with a wide range of multimedia services that already exist for non-mobile users and stable networking, regardless of location. Along with new prospects, however, mobile / wireless communications raise new concerns about security issues.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to handle, apply and evaluate the security techniques and measures applied to mobile and wireless environments.
