Informatics Security

The masterly degree in Informatics Security aims at supplying the advanced knowledge required for professionals who will carry on research, design, implementation, verification, coordination and management of ICT systems where security and protection of the systems themselves as well as of the information they handle are crucial issues.
The masterly graduated in Informatics Security will also have the skills necessary to handle the innovation in the ICT field: to this purpose, she/he will have high-level scientific and technical competencies, methodological and operating capabilities, critical and open perspective view regarding adoption and usage of secure ICT technologies.
The masterly degree in Informatics Security foresees a graduation thesis, to be developed inside the University as well as in a private or public company and to be discussed as the final examination. The thesis is a written relation (English or Italian) structured as a scientific publication, prepared with the help of a supervisor and describing an original scientific experience in the field of ICT security.
The degree has been designed to be proficiently followed both by people already acquainted with ICT security issues (to whom it will provide deeper insight into ICT sciences and technologies useful for security critical application) and by people coming from scientific degrees where computer security has never been specifically addressed (to whom it will supply t required competencies starting from basic aspects of ICT security). In both cases, however, training is structured around a large common basis, preserving the uniqueness of the overall degree and guaranteeing homogeneity and cultural coherence of the graduated people.
The training foresees lectures, practical exercises, laboratory courses and ICT learning support tools.
