Goal

The goal of this course is the implementation of research projects about information security. Students are supposed to work in groups of two up to four persons. They will be supervised by a research assistant who is responsible for the detailed task assignment. The students are expected to work independently, but to meet in regular intervals with their supervisor to discuss the current progress.

Beside the code, we expect a short documentation and a final presentation about your achievements.
