• Get the skills to tackle security problems encountered in networking, distributed software applications and image processing. 
• The paid 6-month internship provides a cutting-edge professional experience and a future competitive asset.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

• Students need to validate a certain amount of credits per Teaching Unit each semester. Please consult the http://www.eurecom.fr/files/documents/2-Formation/MasterOfScience/Academic%20Regulation%20International%20Master%202016-2017v0_0.pdf" target="_blank">Academic Schedule and the Frequently Asked Questions for more Information about the schedule organisation.

The goal of the Post Master's degree is to provide advanced skills and a cutting-edge experience in a wide range of Digital Security applications. The strenght of the program relies on a multi-faceted approach dealing with key fields of security applications: Security of Software, Embedded Systems, Cloud computing, Data, IoT, Networks and Communications.

CONTEXT

With the fast development of computer and communication systems in our private and professional life, today have come fraud and malevolence in various forms. Attacks are routinely ranging from simple computer nuisances to cybercrime and threats to critical infrastructure. In the past decades technical means to counter these attacks have experienced a tremendous growth and the birth of entirely new fields :

• The large scale use of cryptography by the general public,
• Software, operating system and network security,
• Secure Internet transactions,
• Security of mobile and wireless communications,
• Rights management and protection of multimedia content.

OBJECTIVES

The Post Master's degree offers the necessary technical knowledge for engineers responsible for designing secure systems and system administrators responsible for ensuring computer and network security within a company or a public authority.

The following security topics will be covered:

• cryptography and its applications
• malware detection and analysis
• specific mechanisms for the protection of communications, networks and distributed computer applications
• image protection and biometric techniques
