Learning outcomes
The system security course aims to provide the fundamental knowledge necessary for specifying and analyzing security policies designed depending on the features of the system to protect, and on the information to protect.
In particular, the course proposes an initial overview of the basic concepts, and then focalizes on the security of operating systems, with particular attention to authentication and authorization, on software security, on software vulnerabilities in presence of malware, and on security databases.
Finally will be treated security management and legal aspects of computer security.
