Overview The intertwinement of telecommunications, mobile communications and data networks is turning IT security into an explosive topic and a key risk factor in today's businesses. Services such as e-commerce, e-government or digital media and their copyright protection severely stress data, network and transmission security. In the Master's degree program you will be specializing in aspects of technical security and the "human risk factor" Apply now Contact us Contact us!

You have the ability to identify potentially weak points in systems and networks. This motivates you to find suitable measures to prevent manipulation and to block unauthorized access. New technologies arouse your interest - yet always with guaranteed security standards in mind. Your are familiar with encryption methods and you would like, in your Master's degree program, to delve deeper into cryptography as a field for research and application.What we offer you IT security is a highly agile field. Attacks on servers and networks are getting increasingly sophisticated. Our state-of-the-art network laboratory where you may refine your strategies for preventing unauthorized access and develop measures and scenarios for protection is at your disposal. You will have the opportunity of participating in research and development (R&D) projects, engaging in active exchange between science and practice at the university. The degree program also includes an own "IT security competence team", working in close cooperation with companies. The research focuses on the transmission of data, safe from manipulation or eavesdropping. What makes this degree program special The number of mobile end devices will continue to increase and thereby also the demands made on data security for these tiny devices with their weak computing power. Sensor nodes which, albeit very versatile, are also small and have limited computing capacity and very little storage space are another example. Contrasting with these, we have the Cloud with its seemingly infinite computing and storage resources. The IT Security Master's degree program addresses both these developments in its research program.The course experts implement, evaluate and compare a diversity of cryptographic algorithms in the affiliated Competence Center for IT Security.The goal is to establish easily realizable secure data encryption options in practice. Findings are directly incorporated into the degree program to assuring you, the Master's student, of a decisive advantage of knowledge. The specialist know-how of our lecturers is also in high demand internationally. Experts of the IT Security Competence Center are often asked to participate as speakers at international conferences on data security and data protection. Papers published by the IT experts often receive awards such as the FH Best Paper Award, repeatedly awarded to FH Campus Wien. Curriculum 1.

Therefore, an introduction to scientific work, writing, and well established methodologies will be taught in this course. Assessment methods The evaluation is based on the submitted material (disposition, paper, reviews) as well as on the presentations. Teaching methods During this course a scientific conference will be simulated. After a brief introduction to scientific writing, the attendees of this course shall treat a problem statement of a given field of research for which they shall prepare disposition that briefly describes the chosen topic. Based on it, a draft version of the scientific article will be written (draft paper). Afterwards, these draft versions of the papers will be critically reviewed by other colleagues (peer reviewing). Based on their reviews, a revised version of the scientific paper shall be created (camera-ready paper). At the end of this course, the scientific papers will be presented by the authors.

Your task will be to design and implement comprehensive security solutions. You will specify, plan, integrate, test and operate voice and data networks, taking into account the necessary security standards. You will work in the following areas: Companies with their own IT infrastructureBanks and insurance companiesCompanies in electronic commerceAuthorities and public institutionsOnline service providersService providers (cable/radio network providers, telecom) Entertainment industry and media companies Software development companies and system integratorsSecurity servicesData centersConsulting firms AdmissionAdmission requirements A Bachelor degree or diploma certificate from an institute of higher education with a total of 180 ECTS credits with at least 50 ECTS credits in the relevant subjects of information technology, software engineering and network engineering. In exceptional cases, the University Council will make a joint decision with the Program Director.Equivalent certification from abroadEquivalence is determined by international agreements, validation or in individual cases a decision by the head of the academic section.The admission requirements are satisfied with successful graduation from the Information Technologies and Telecommunication and Applied Electronics Bachelor degree programs offered at FH Campus Wien. Regulation for the admission of third country citizensApplication To apply you will require the following documents:Birth certificateProof of citizenshipA Bachelor degree or diploma certificate/equivalent certification from abroad and CV in table form.Please note:It is not possible to save incomplete online applications. You must complete your application in one session. Your application will be valid as soon as you upload all of the required documents and certificates. In the event that some documents (e.g. references) are not available at the time you apply, you may submit these later via e-mail, mail or in person by no later than the start of the admission process. The selection process The selection process examines the technical aptitude of the applicants for the Master's degree program. It consists of a written test and an interview.

Additionally, we offer an online platform, where students have to solve a new challenge every three weeks. Those challenges range from performing a local and/or remote buffer overflow, reverse engineer mobile phone applications, attack web services and others.

Manuel Koschuch, Bakk.techn. 2 SWS 3 ECTS Lecture contents An important part of a comprehensive academic education is to aquire the qualification to treat problem statements from a scientific point of view. Therefore, an introduction to scientific work, writing, and well established methodologies will be taught in this course. Assessment methods The evaluation is based on the submitted material (disposition, paper, reviews) as well as on the presentations. Teaching methods During this course a scientific conference will be simulated. After a brief introduction to scientific writing, the attendees of this course shall treat a problem statement of a given field of research for which they shall prepare disposition that briefly describes the chosen topic. Based on it, a draft version of the scientific article will be written (draft paper). Afterwards, these draft versions of the papers will be critically reviewed by other colleagues (peer reviewing). Based on their reviews, a revised version of the scientific paper shall be created (camera-ready paper). At the end of this course, the scientific papers will be presented by the authors.
