Informatics Security (Classe LM-66)-Enrolled from 18/19 Academic Year
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.

The education program can be enriched by educational activities abroad both to deepen some topics and as socialization experience in international environments. WIthin the Erasmus+ program study periods can be taken in over 50 universities in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary. Courses will be recognized in the personalized study plan. These periods abroad are typically 5-month long and include courses for about 30 CFU, in the area of information and communication technology and related applications. Recognition of these educational activities will be based on the Learning Agreement, to be defined in advance by the student and the Erasmus coordinator at the Computer Science Department before starting the period abroad: course in the learning agreement with passed exams will replace the educational activities of the study plan ("manifesto"), either by covering the same topics or complementing the acquired basic competences. The Erasmus Committee at the Computer Science Department will perform the recognition of CFU obtained abroad and the definition of the personalized study plan. Similarly, stages to prepare the final dissertation are allowed in the same foreign universities. Recognition will be performed by the Department Erasmus Committee.
