The proliferation of technology in decision making challenges the collective trust in society.  Mathematical models predict the economy and political decisions are made accordingly. National ID infrastructures, such as MitID, authenticate citizens to digital services who still need to trust that they also protect their private data. AI systems are making decisions that affect many, who must learn how to live with them. Living in a modern digital world means that technology operates in an adversarial and partly unverifiable environment. All too often, technologies are expected be trusted although they are untrustworthy by design.

The concept of verifiability provides mechanisms to check retroactively if operations of a specific technology were correct. Not all technologies and infrastructures support the concept of verifiability, because often verifiability and confidentiality are at odds. Most technologies could support it but only few do.  In this advanced course called Advanced Security, we study the concept of verifiability and trust.

You will take this course as part of the security specialization. As prerequisites, we expect you to be able to program and have taken an introductory course in cybersecurity, such as Security 1 or Applied Information Security, a course on Cryptography, and of course Discrete Mathematics.

Today we rarely use programs that are developed to fit one specific customer. When we play games, use business systems for administration, or download apps to our phones, we use software that is part of software ecosystems: software products that are configured to fit a specific business context; platforms that allow sharing of specific kinds of software; or software as a service. Examples of software ecosystems have developed around software products, like game engines, or enterprise resource planning (ERP or CRM) software, integrated development environments like visual studio and platforms like the Android operating system. 

In this course you explore software ecosystems from UX design, organizational and technical perspectives. To this end you will analyse a software ecosystem together, propose an improvement related to the ecosystem, and support your proposal with a prototype and / or other design artefacts.
