Information Security: Design Fundamentals and Selected Research Topics
Nov 16, 2009 - Nov 18, 2009
14 India Street, Edinburgh
This course is hosted by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) and supported by Bridging the Gaps .
Course Aim
To introduce participants to the design fundamentals of security systems and a number of contemporary research subjects on security technology.
Learning Outcomes
After attending the course, participants are expected to understand modern security design techniques as well as the objectives of state-of-the-art research on security technology and mechanisms.
Pre-requisites
Basic EE-CS level is sufficient. Basic knowledge of discrete mathematics and number theory would be helpful, but not essential.

Presenter Biography
Prof. Adi obtained a Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing) Degree in Computer Engineering in 1979 followed by a Postdoc research position to obtain Habilitation degree (Ass. Prof.) in “Computer Engineering” from the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany. In 2002, he was appointed as a Full Professor at the same University where he is currently researching a wide range of problems including physical security, clone-resistant architectures, IPR protection for VLSI design cores, robot security, vehicular security, e-Money, e-Voting and error correction technology.
Prof. Adi holds 18 European/US patents and has published over 50 conference/journal papers in the area of information security. He has over 20 years experience as industrial consultant for companies such as Siemens, Bosch Telecom, German Telecom, Philips/Valvo and Volkswagen. He has recently served in the 3rd Generation ETSI-European mobile standardization for security and physical layer working groups on mobile security and channel coding.
