A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

NI-HSC Side-Channel Analysis in Hardware Extent of teaching: 2P+2C
Instructor: Miškovský V., Socha P. Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18103 Credits: 4 Semester: Z

Annotation:
This course is dedicated to so-called side-channel information leakage in hardware devices. It focuses on both theoretical analysis and practical attacks. Students get familiar with various kinds of side channels and they get deeper insight in power attacks. Students learn to implement various profiled and non-profiled attacks and get familiar with higher-order attacks. They also get practice in both designing the SCA countermeasures and analyzing the amount and characteristics of the side-channel information leakage.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Introduction to side channels, information leakage, power consumption/EM radiation measurements
2. Formal model for side-channel attacks, differential power analysis, correlation power analysis
3. Mutual information analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov analysis
4. Template attacks, theoretical and experimental security metrics
5. Countermeasures based on Additional Modules, hiding
6. Countermeasures based on Secure Logic Styles, hiding
7. Countermeasures based on Module Alteration, masking
8. Attacks on protected implementations, univariate and multivariate higher order attacks, combining function
9. Machine learning in side-channel analysis, neural networks
10. Leakage assessment
11. Remote side-channel attacks, attacks on radio, attacks in cloud
12. Fault attacks, fault injection, combined attacks
13. Reserve

Seminar syllabus:
1. Equipment introduction
2. Measurement introduction, timing attacks
3. Attack realisation I 4. Attack realisation II
5. Attack realisation III
