1. Presented by Prof. Danilo Gligoroski MSc in Telematics Specialization in Information Security

2. What is covered by the area of Information Security? Ubiquitous integrated computing and communication services need services for data security, confidentiality, integrity and availability New information threat scenarios appear every month The number of information security relevant incidents is steadily on the increase Threats may be active and passive, may be unwanted incidents or may be deliberate abuse, eavesdropping and sabotage Securing networks Securing stored data Secure data processing Secure transportation of data How can you be sure that you can securely do business on the Internet? How can you be sure that nobody is able to empty your bank account? How does one perform encryption? Can we protect ourselves against spam and viruses? Can I send an e-mail to my doctor without having to worry about others possibly reading the content?
