Description: The course Biomedical Security will give an overview of important algorithms, systems and aspects for the security of biomedical data. It starts with an introduction on Cryptography. Basic cryptographic concepts, algorithms and protocols are discussed. Important biomedical security subjects such as the authentication security, and privacy of patient data; privacy and security in biomedical applications; anonymity, security, and authentication of research data are studied. Finally application security and systems security of biomedical devices are discussed.

Grading:

The course will be graded on the student's class participation, assignments, technical survey (4 pages), and presentations. All assignment sets are graded with a fail/pass. To pass the course 3 from the 4 assignment sets should have a pass. Final grade = (Workshop Grade + Presentation Grade + Survey Grade)/3.
