Speciality "Computer security"

Mathematician. Specialist on computer security is the professional qualification of an expert in the field of the mathematical methods of information security with the higher professional education.

Computer security is the area of knowledge including the models, methods, software, hardware, and systems for information security during processing, storing and transmitting of information using information technologies.

Standard duration of the curriculum for the full-time students is 5 years for experts, and 6 years for masters.

The speciality includes the following specializations:

  • "mathematical methods for information security";
  • "analysis of security of computer systems";
  • "secure information systems";
  • "software and hardware for information security";
  • "security of computer-aided system for information processing and management".

The graduate is prepared for the scientific, analytic, production, and administrative activity in the field of analysis, design, and maintenance of secure computer systems, software and hardware modules for information security in research and educational institutions, enterprises, and other organizations developing and utilizing security facilities.

The graduate mainly can work in research and design laboratories, in departments of government and business organizations that are engaged in information security.
