Learning outcomes
This course focuses on advanced methods of data and information security. The aim is to familiarize students with the security of data and information in digital and analog form. Emphasis will be placed on modern methods of document security, including hashing theory, symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, quantum and post-quantum security, the theory of authenticity and genuineness and non-repudiation of documents. A significant part of the course will be devoted to documents in analog form, including the levels of their security and the necessary organizational and technical aspects when working with them.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of information security and computer networks at the level of courses UAI/311, UAI/696 and UAI/717 (or equivalent)

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Active course participation Preparation and defence of a semester thesis.
