The World is Changing
Communications play a major role in today'sworld. The rise of sophisticated communicationstechniques and technologies is having a funda-mental and profound impact, and digital com-munications and mobile computing allow newlevels of freedom and flexibility for people, com-panies, and governments.
Mobile computing studies embrace all aspectsrelated to wireless and mobile communication.The future is very much wireless, and thus thisarea of research and development is crucial forthe next generation services and applications.
Security and Mobile Computing
Security is an integral part oftoday's IT world. Informationflows need to be secured andcommunicating parties au-thenticated. Computer net-works, wired or wireless, arevulnerable to all kinds of at-tacks, and must be protected.And mobile computing presentsa new range of security chal-lenges that must be addressed.Hence, security is an importantpart of in this curriculum. .
Be Mobile –Join NordSecMob!
Apply for the NordSecMobprogramme and help shape thefuture! Not only will you gainin-depth knowledge and prac-tical know-how of the mobile
revolution, but at the same time you will havea chance to experience the cultures of two north-ern European countries.

NordSecMob is a two-year Master of Sciencedegree Programme (120 ECTS credits). Duringthe programme, the students will study at twoof the five Nordic partner universities: HelsinkiUniversity of Technology (TKK) in Finland, Tech-nical University of Denmark (DTU), The RoyalInstitute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, TheNorwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU) and the University of Tartu (UT) in Esto-nia. After completing the two-year programme,successful students will be awarded two officiallyrecognized M.Sc. degrees: one from each uni-versity where they studied.
The programme offers students breadth anddeep of knowledge in the field of computerscience, data security and mobile comput-ing, both in theory and in practice. The pro-gramme develops the students' research skillsto enable them to take up further studies at PhDlevel; it also provides experience of internationalR&D environments, and enables access to majorinternational networks.

rogrammeThe first autumn term studies are taken at one of the three universities: TKK, KTH orNTNU. Students with the specialization "Software Security" move from home universityto DTU for the first spring semester and stay second year at DTU. Students with otherspecialization tracks move after first year studies to other (TKK, NTNU, KTH and UT) forthe second autumn semester.
TKK: Technical Information Securityand Network Services
The focus of the first autumn at TKK is handson learning of security and computer networksthrough laboratory works and with emphasison basic courses of security and mobile com-puting. The first spring concentrates on ad-vanced courses in mobile computing, security,and services including interactive courses,project works and seminars. The focus of thestudies of the second autumn is on advancedcourses in mobile computing, security, andservices including interactive courses, projectworks and seminars.
KTH: Communications SystemsDesign
The focus of the first autumn at KTH is on com-munication security, including advanced topicsin networking and security, theory and laboratoryexercises. The focus of the first spring is onproblem-oriented, project-driven learning inteams addressing real-life problems in the com-munication systems area, with external projectowners, optionally in parallel with a few technicalspecialization courses on mobile services. Thefocus of the second autumn at KTH is on ad-vanced operator related topics, including tech-nical network management, technology man-agement and business management/creation.

In the TKK NordSecMob-programme theresearch focus is on the evolution of theInternet technologies as well as on thedesign, implementation, and verificationof IP based systems. In addition to theInternet technologies, research addressesmobile networks and specifically the de-velopment of applications and services inheterogeneous network environments.Focal areas for both Internet and mobilenetworks are security, service architec-tures and subjects related to service man-agement such as mobility, quality-of-service and charging. Security issues in-cluding privacy, trust and identity man-agement are central for this researchgroup. .

postgraduate students and a staff of 3,100people. There are four campuses with themain campus in central Stockholm. TheKTH part of the programme is organisedunder the KTH School of ICT.
The ICT school of KTH conducts researchon communication systems, includingtheir use, policy and regulation of com-munication markets, design and imple-mentation of applications, services andnetwork systems. In the area of commu-nication systems design, the main re-search topics are network architecturesand protocols for the future Internet, the

systems, services and protocols have inthe past most frequently been performedby using qualitative principles, methodsand measures. However, in the presenttransition into an end user environmentdominated by ubiquitous computing powerand service realization, the informationsecurity research needs to be focused onthe quantitative aspects of description andnegotiation of perceived QoS. Crypto-graphic Protocols can be considered asdistributed algorithms that employ cryp-
tographic functions for securing distribut-ed computerized communication systems,their goals being to restrict, establish andpreserve the security properties of infor-mation. A specific long-standing inquiryin the field of crypto-protocols is that ofdefining and constructing information pri-vacy, for instance in digital cash and e-voting schemes. Digital Tracks is anotherresearch activity which addresses bothprivacy and forensic concerns.
DTU was originally foundedas the College of AdvancedTechnology in 1829. DTU hasa high international stan-dard within the technical-natural sciences, based on
15 individual departments as well as anumber of research centers on campusin Kongens Lyngby, the Copenhagen Met-ropolitan area. The University has approx-imately 900 researchers, 6,000 studentsand 600 PhD students. The Computer Sci-

In the DTU NordSecMob-programme thereare two main research components. Onedeals with software security and focuses

on techniques that can be used to validatedesigns of systems for the absence ofsecurity flaws and to develop systems thatcan be relied upon to adhere to given se-curity policies. To be specific, research oncommunication protocols using staticanalysis, originally developed in the EU-project DEGAS, has successfully used tovalidate a number of voting and single-sign on protocols; research on accesscontrol and information flow, includingthe Decentralised Label Model, gives con-crete techniques for constructing softwaresystems where code is guaranteed tosatisfy given confidentiality, integrity orauthenticity properties. Another deals withsystem security and network security. Onefocus is on how to construct systems that
are likely to give users privacy and ano-nymity; another focus is the study of in-trusion detection systems and how theycan best be configured to protect the user.
UT was originally founded as AcademiaDorpatensis (Gustaviana) in 1632 and itwas reopened in 1802. UT has 11 faculties,3 research institutes and 6 colleges withmore than 70 departments, institutes and
clinics. The total number of students isover 18,000, with a teaching staff of 1,300.UT is located in Tartu, in the southeastpart of Estonia. The responsibility of theteaching of the programme at Universityof Tartu is on the Institute of ComputerScience of the Department of Mathematicsand Computer Science.
The main NordSecMob-related researchareas in Tartu University are data securityand cryptography. The interests of ourworking group reach from practical secu-rity analysis to foundations of cryptograph-ic primitives. The main research topicsare the following: security models basedon attack trees, economics of security,privacy preserving data mining, formalproof systems for cryptographic protocolsand properties of hash functions and ap-plications of hash functions in digital time-stamping.
