Minor content
In the minor you will work get into Secure Programming. This is where the foundation for safe programming is laid. During the lectures you will come into contact with vulnerabilities in applications. You will learn how these vulnerabilities arise, how to detect them, and how to ultimately prevent them. In this minor you will be working both practically and theoretically.
Structure of the minor
Research has shown that it is cheaper to resolve possible security issues at an early stage during the development of a (web) application than after commissioning. The software development life cycle (SDLC) is crucial when developing applications for desktop environments and also for mobile applications for, for example, a smartphone. The question we will answer in this minor is the following: how can secure programming be made part of the SDLC and which techniques can we apply?
During the minor you will work in a group on a mobile application for Android. You can think of the type of application yourself, but the development process must follow the known methods of secure programming.
