The course provides the opportunity for deeper study of selected topics within the area of information security, in the form of a project work, which can be of either theoretical or practical nature. The course aims to develop the students' skills in the following areas:

• identify, analyze, and structure the problems to be addressed in the project,
• find, evaluate, and explain solutions to problems identified in the project,
• find, synthesize, and present information from multiple types of sources in the information security area to find structure, and to make original and well-motivated conclusions,
• actively contribute to a well-functioning project group,
• demonstrate the ability to lead the project work with the support of a project model, and with limited access to supervisory resources,
• present project results to an audience with similar general background in information security,
• plan, follow up, and document the project work
