Cyber-crime Science (201100022)

The Introduction to Computer Security course is primarily intended for second year master students in the Kerckhoff Master Security but it is also suitable for other master students with an interest in security or cyber crime.

Credits: 6EC

Aim

To place Information Security in the broader context of:

Criminology, because the failure to use Information Security properly may lead to cyber crime;
Economy, because the costs and benefits of Information Security are economic values;
Law, because the transnational character of the Internet poses serious challenges for the law;
Psychology, because life online is sufficiently different from real life

Learning outcomes

The student will acquire:

A good understanding of the theoretical principles of Crime Science
A basic understanding of the Economics of Information Security
An appreciation of the Legal and Psychological issues
An appreciation of the whole spectrum of different cyber crimes
Skills necessary to research cyber crime prevention measures.
