Theorem, will introduce a series of theorems (Fermat\u2019s small theorem, theorem of Lagrange, exponentiation method, etc) that allow to accelerate computations in these rings. Fields, especially finite fields, will be introduced from an algorithmic angle. Usual probable primality tests will be described. They will provide the context for the introduction of Legendre symbols, the quadratic reciprocity law, etc. Usual integer factorization methods will be introduced as well, including the method of Fermat up to the quadratic field sieve. A series of cryptographic primitives will be given both for a finite group in general, and for specific groups in particular, arising from finite fields, or from elliptic curves defined over finite fields. If time allows, some methods for the computation of the number of points of an elliptic curve over a finite field will be given. This series of lectures will be completed by some broader conferences presenting the material in a more general setting.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>First session<br>Written exam during the exam period (January\/February)<\/p><br><p><br>Retake exam<br>Written exam during the exam period (July)<\/p><br><p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Note \/ Literature \/ Bibliography<br><br><\/p><br><p>\u201cHow big is big?

principles and applications of the following formal methods: <br>* Alloy &#8211; a declarative modeling language based on first-order logic, for expressing complex structural constraints and behavior. The Alloy Analyzer is a constraint solver that provides fully automatic simulation and checking. The motivation for the Alloy project was to bring to Z-style specifications (Z being another formal language) the kind of automation offered by model checkers. <br>* Process Algebras &#8211; Process Algebra is a formal description technique for complex computer systems, especially those involving communicating, concurrently executing components. It is a subject that touches many topic areas of computer science and discrete math. <br>* Protocol Verification &#8211; a specification language based on process algebra extended with abstract data types is used to describe communicating systems. Interesting properties about the systems are expressed as temporal logic formulas. Model checking is employed as a method to formally verify whether the model defined by the system satisfies the properties. <br>We have chosen these methods because they are based on complementary approaches for formal reasoning about systems. The course is tool-oriented in the sense that automatic tool support will be an essential part of the teaching units whenever possible. In this sense the lecture provides a more hands-on approach to theoretical concepts compared to courses in the first semester. Many examples and real-life case studies drawn from a variety of domains such as computer security, communicative systems and software engineering will be presented                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Final exam: 70% <br>Assignments: 30%                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-69e50de5c0ff9\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                Big Data Analytics                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            5                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            MICS2-41                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-69e50de5c0ff9\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-69e50de5c0f6b\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> Big Data Analytics<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 5<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> MICS2-41<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> Module 2.4 &#8211; Big Data Analytics <\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Language:<\/span> EN<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Mandatory:<\/span> No<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n\n                <!--<li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">-->\n                <!--    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">-->\n                <!--        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>--><!--<\/strong><\/h5>-->\n                <!--    <\/header>-->\n                <!--    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">-->\n                <!--        <div class=\"speaker-group\">-->\n                <!--            -->                <!--        <\/div>-->\n                <!--    <\/div>-->\n                <!--<\/li>-->\n\n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Objectives<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\n                            The lecture provides an entry point to large-scale data management and distributed computing principles in recent NoSQL architectures.

An expansive definition of Data Mining, which is the derivation of insights from masses of data by studying and understanding the structure of the constituent data, and selected applications complete the course.<br>                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        * Explain the fundamental concepts of data mining and knowledge discovery<br>* List the properties of data relevant for deriving interesting and useful information\/observation from that.<br>* Explain machine learning algorithms and strategies to deploy the discovered results<br>* Argue the importance of domain knowledge during the data analysis with its scope and limitations<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        * Definition and Process. <br>* Data Mining, Data Science, and the Big Data Hype.<br>* Data Quality and Preprocessing<br>* Data Privacy and Security.<br>* Data and Information Visualization.<br>* Machine Learning for Clustering, Classification, Association Discovery, Sequential Pattern Analysis, and\/or Time Series Analysis.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        60% oral or written examination; 40% midterm tests                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Selected references:<br><\/p><br><p>* M.

devices running software written in millions of lines of code because it makes our lives easier.<br>However, the complexity and the size of existing software, added to the fact that humans write most of the software,<br>introduce bugs.<br>Some of these bugs, called vulnerabilities, can be exploited by an attacker to compromise a device or leak information.<br>Have you ever wondered how programmers make their code more robust to avoid introducing vulnerabilities?<br>Have you ever wondered how attackers can find vulnerabilities and exploit them to take control of a remote device on<br>the Internet or of your smartphone?<br>Have you ever wondered how attacker can dump an entire database containing personal information about millions of<br>users?<br>In this course, you will learn both how to defend against vulnerabilities and how to exploit vulnerabilities.<br>This course covers memory corruption vulnerabilities such as buffer or heap overflow, type confusion, or use after free.<br>It also covers more high level vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or confused deputy.<\/p><p>The course will mix theory and practice.<br>On the offensive side, you will implement simple programs to exploit vulnerabilities.<br>On the defensive side, you will correct vulnerable programs to prevent exploitation but also learn how to use techniques such as fuzzing to find new

In this manner, organizations aimed at applying this cultural shift need to make use of advanced software development methods. In this course, particular attention will be given to continuous integration, automated deployment, and software delivery. These methods are chained one after the other, forming what is known as deployment pipeline. \u00a0Beside the software engineering aspects, DevOps also includes other two important dimensions: culture, and management. Culture corresponds to the required skills to be able to collaborate with other people in a professional manner, whereas management is related to the ability to find trade-offs and make decisions such that the expected outcomes are satisfy while respecting the imposed constraints. The three dimensions are equally important, so they are the focus of the course.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Rating:\u00a0<br><ul><br><li><br>Project deliverables: 50%<br><\/li><br><li><br>Homework: 50%<br><\/li><br><li><br>Final grade = if (Homework grade 8)<br><\/li><li><br>Then AVERAGE (Project deliverables, Homework)<br><\/li><br><li><br>Else Homework \/* this means failing to the course*\/<br><\/li><br><\/ul><br>\u00a0<br>Retake exam<br>The exam consists of an oral exam where the student will answer the questions asked by the teacher.<br>Questions will be related to everything the student has done all along the course: this includes, assignments, quizzes, project assess, and peer-reviewing.<br>The student must be able to show the results of his\/her mini-project. It is very important then the student has access to all resources not only to show them, but also to be ready to demonstrate its functioning.<br>The duration of the exam will depend on the number of students doing the exam and the progress, clarity and quality of the answers provided by the student.

In fields such as healthcare, education, science, and others, AI is driving breakthroughs in diagnosis, personalized learning, analytics, and many more. However, as AI continues to advance, so too do the ethical and societal implications of its widespread adoption. Concerns surrounding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the impact on employment underscore the need for responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. The need for AI, however, has never been greater. In an era defined by data abundance and complexity, AI offers indispensable solutions for unlocking insights, driving innovation, and addressing some of society&#8217;s most pressing challenges. However, it is imperative that we approach the development and deployment of AI with a keen awareness of its ethical and societal implications, ensuring that the benefits are equitably distributed and that AI serves the collective good.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Assessment: appetiser talk during the rehearsal, assessed by the examiners (25%; Is the project credible?

The candidate then works ca. 4 weeks on this project. The candidate then presents the project as well as summarizes the results in a research paper. Both count 50% each.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-69e50de5cc82e\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                Research in Information Systems Engineering                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            4                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            MICS2-69                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-69e50de5cc82e\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-69e50de5cc6a7\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> Research in Information Systems Engineering<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 4<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> MICS2-69<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> Module 3.34 &#8211; Research Methods in Information Systems Engineering <\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Language:<\/span> EN<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Mandatory:<\/span> No<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n\n                <!--<li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">-->\n                <!--    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">-->\n                <!--        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>--><!--<\/strong><\/h5>-->\n                <!--    <\/header>-->\n                <!--    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">-->\n                <!--        <div class=\"speaker-group\">-->\n                <!--            -->                <!--        <\/div>-->\n                <!--    <\/div>-->\n                <!--<\/li>-->\n\n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Objectives<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>\n                            1) Building a basic understanding on research and scientific methods in information systems engineering.<br>2) Providing an overview of the basic principles and research methods that are prevalent and relevant in the field of information systems engineering.

The course is designed to equip students with a foundational understanding of how digital technologies are reshaping financial markets and decision-making processes. It begins with a conceptual grounding in market dynamics, investment under uncertainty, and the mechanisms of supply and demand, establishing a basis for understanding the broader FinTech landscape. Through this lens, students examine the transformative impact of technologies such as blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi), including their associated risks, regulatory concerns, and the challenges of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML\/CFT) compliance. The course further investigates the intersection of artificial intelligence and the financial sector, focusing on how data-driven technologies are influencing operations. Emphasis is placed on the role of IS design in supporting regulatory compliance, particularly in emerging areas such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Students will explore how privacy and compliance can be embedded into systems to align with evolving legal and ethical standards. The course aims to develop critical thinking and practical insights into the strategic, technical, and regulatory dimensions of FinTech.<\/p>                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        By the end of the course, students will be able to:<br>1.
