General competence: -Is capable of analyzing relevant professional and research ethical problems in the field of intrusion detection. -Is capable of applying his/her knowledge and skills in new fields, in order to accomplish advanced tasks and projects. -Can work independently and is familiar with terminology in the field of intrusion detection and prevention. -Is capable of discussing professional problems in the field of intrusion detection and prevention, both with specialists and with general audience. -Is capable of contributing to innovation and innovation processes.
The course addresses the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
Goal 7, target 7.3, also related to the goal 12, target 2 - double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency / achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources - by designing fast and efficient big data processing algorithms, we reduce the energy consumption ensuring at the same time reliability and security of network communications.
Goal 9, target 9.5 - Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries - studying the algorithms for host and network intrusion detection, the students improve their skills and competence in many research fields, such as computer science, mathematics, statistics, etc. This contributes to taking the quality of research and development in their countries of origin to a higher level.
Learning methods and activities
-Lectures -Lab work -Numerical exercises
Additional information: -The course will be made accessible for both campus (Gjøvik/Trondheim) and remote students. Every student is free to choose the pedagogic arrangement form that is best fitted for her/his own requirements. The lectures in the course will be given on campus Gjøvik and are open for both categories of students. All the lectures will also be available on Internet through the learning management system.
Compulsory requirements: None.
Further on evaluation
The written 5-hours' exam counts 100% of the final mark.
Ordinary re-sit examination in August.
The written exam will be given both on campus Gjøvik and campus Trondheim.
