In this project-focused course, students will form teams and work on exemplary security- or privacy-related research questions. The teams will develop and evaluate a concept for a human-centered solution, such as a gamified phishing training. Through input sessions and milestone presentations the human perspective will be incorporated and reflected upon.

Students will gain an overview of the main privacy metrics that are used to evaluate privacy risks related to the use of a given technology. They will also be introduced to the concepts of privacy/utility balance and usable security. Practical exercises and reading of recently published scientific articles will be used to present practical cases of the theoretical tools presented in class.
