This bachelor's course is designed to understand the principles of privacy, trust and security in a society in which distributed autonomous systems (both human and automated) interact continuously. Interaction between systems often mandates some knowledge of each others' credentials. This course will focus on management of privacy, trust and security, and not on detailed technical specifics of individual security measures.

Thus a 10 for the exam and a 2 for the hand-in assignments results in a final mark 'fail'. The first two hand-in exercises determine 15% of your end grade, the final exercise counts for 20%. Each hand-in exercise again needs to have at least a 5.5 mark.
