Further information	Module Capacity: unrestricted
Method of assesment	Written or oral exam The concretely chosen form of examination will be announced in the first week of the course.
Learning outcomes/competencies	Students understand the basic concepts, methods and protocols for protecting data and systems from manipulation and misuse on a basic, practice-oriented, scientific level (see "contents of the module"). The students can explain the causes of security problems in today's systems, can reproduce the connections between protection mechanisms and the problems they address, and can apply them to case studies. They can identify vulnerabilities, analyze them and understand the attack mechanisms described. In addition, the students are able to discuss possible solutions and are able to protect systems accordingly. Professional competence The students understand the semantics of security and explain the properties of secure IT systems (see "contents of the module"), discuss the importance of IT security, and carry out simple security analyses of systems. Methological competence The students use concepts and techniques to increase security, in particular regarding which protection goals can be achieved with which techniques (see "contents of the module"), apply mechanisms of IT security in simple scenarios, and question the properties and limits of security concepts and combine different concepts in a meaningful way. Social competence The students solve problems partially in small groups and thus improve their willingness to cooperate and their communication skills, present solutions to IT security problems in front of the exercise group, discuss their different solutions within the exercise group, and improve their English language skills. Self-competence The students motivate themselves to work on questions and problems in the domain of IT security, justify their own actions with theoretical and methodical knowledge, and critically reflect on proposed solutions in relation to social expectations and consequences, taking into account the methods taught.
