Teachers
– Frontal teaching activities finalized to the main theoretical concepts of basic security of multimedia systems, the encryption, the staganografia multimedia data, and watermarking and fingerprinting techniques. The lectures are supplemented with specific assignments involving the study and individual performance by the students of exercises and case studies provided by the teacher. The correction of such assignment takes place in the classroom with presentations by students of the work done.
– Laboratory activities are aimed at developing the student’s ability to apply their knowledge on real application cases regarding the security of multimedia systems. The laboratory classes are integrated with the planning activities of the group that include the creation of a multimedia system that can securely transmit data and information. The teaching materials, slides and video recordings of classroom lectures are made available on the E-learning platform of the University of Udine. Such materials are reserved for students enrolled in the course.
In particular, the student will acquire the following competencies on:
– techniques and algorithms for secure transmission of multimedia data (images, videos, audio tracks, etc.) through the Internet and, more generally, through communication channels unsafe.
– techniques of steganography, watermarking and fingerprint
– knowledge how to analyze and understand the basics of based on symmetric (private) key and asymmetric (public) key encryption techniques.
– knowledge how to use the major programming languages for the web such as PHP,Java, MySQL and HTML5
– knowledge how to design and develop a secure multimedia application.
Skills related to the disciplines:
– Knowledge and understanding
The student will acquire during the course specific knowledge about the main theoretical concepts and principles of security of multimedia systems, the encryption, the steganography of multimedia data, watermarking and fingerprinting techniques. The student also will acquire specific competencies on the main security aspects of major programming languages for the Web used in media and new digital media systems.
– Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
The student will acquire specific abilities to apply to real cases the understanding and knowledge gained on different methods of analysis and modeling of problems related to the security of the data used by multimedia applications. The student will be able to apply understanding and knowledge to the creation of complex and multidisciplinary projects in the field of advanced multimedia systems, which require secure transmission of data and information (cloud platforms, social media, distributed databases, interactive systems, robotic systems, etc.). Students will acquire also ability to design, develop and test secure multimedia systems, adapting them to real contexts and specific operating requirements.
Transversal skills / soft skills
– Making judgments
The student will acquire the ability to process and interpret independently the level of security of multimedia systems, the ability to identify security issues and make choices on the most appropriate information technology to solve security problems. He will acquire also the capacity for judgment required to assess the appropriateness of applying data encryption algorithms (symmetric or asymmetric) to the transmission of specific media, identifying positive effects and criticality.
– Communication skills
The student will acquire appropriate communication skills thanks to an activity targeted at the presentation in the classroom of scientific and technical reports on the implementation and functionning of information systems that provide secure transmission of multimedia data over the network.
– Learning ability
The student will also acquire specific transversal skills related to the ability to identify the techniques and/or protocols for security more suitable for the transmission of multimedia data over insecure channels.
