Master of Computer Science, Course: IT Reliability and Security (FSI)
Program Overview
Master Informatique, Parcours: Fiabilité et Sécurité Informatique (FSI)
The Master Informatique, Parcours: Fiabilité et Sécurité Informatique (FSI) program is designed to provide students with the principles and techniques related to the conception, implementation, and operation of secure computer systems and applications in an open and heterogeneous environment. The program focuses on the broad field of computer security, including secured applications, security management, infrastructure administration, norms and quality, security audits, and research and development.
Objectives
The program aims to equip students with strong skills in security and reliability of applications (web, mobile, embedded), organizational security, network security, ethical hacking, cryptographic protocols and architectures, and formal methods. The program emphasizes teamwork, concrete projects, and benefits from the input of professionals in the field.
Formation and Research
The program is supported by the competencies of the Laboratoire d'Informatique et Systčmes (LIS), particularly the Modélisation et Vérification and Algorithmique Distribuée teams.
Competences to Acquire
Students will learn to specify, design, implement, and operate modern critical systems (applications and infrastructure) with a focus on reliability and security from both technical and organizational perspectives.
Stages and Projects
In the first year, students can choose between an internship or a tutored project on a security and reliability theme. In the second year, students participate in a 5-6 month internship and a 2-month tutored project, supervised by professional interveners, with themes including:
- Security of Web Applications
- Architecture and Security of Information Systems
- Security Audits
Students wishing to pursue a thesis can start a laboratory internship in place of the tutored project.
Pedagogical Modalities
The program emphasizes teamwork, concrete projects, and the use of dedicated equipment for training (including a "root" room and "hacklab"), with input from numerous professional interveners.
List of Courses
The program includes a range of courses designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of computer security and reliability.
Admission Conditions
Admission to the program is recommended for students who have completed a master's degree or equivalent, with a sufficient volume of coursework in reliability and security. Students can be admitted directly to the second year if their curriculum presents a sufficient volume of fiabilité and sécurité and practical experience.
