Side channels exist in the real world, but they also exist in computers and can be exploited directly from software. This is a substantial computer security problem today, that we need to learn about to be able to stop attacks. In this course, you will learn and practice basic software-based side channels and understand the thought process to utilize a side channel. You will then learn how to mitigate or avoid side channels in software.

Software-based and physical side-channel attacks have similar techniques. But physical attacks can observe properties and side effects that are usually not visible on the software layer. Thus, they are often considered the most dangerous side-channel attacks. In this course, we learn both about physical side-channel attacks but also about more advanced software-based side channels using prefetching and branch prediction. You will work with these attacks and understand how to mitigate them.

You will learn how to infer the position of the quadrotor from its sensor readings and how to navigate it along a trajectory.

Over 6 modules you will interactively learn the basics of web programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, ...) and how to utilize these techniques to build your own software applications for mobile or desktop devices (exemplified with a chat app).
