AI techniques play an increasingly important role for modern security mechanisms. They are crucial for timely detection of attacks, discovery and analysis of security vulnerabilities, analysis of malicious software. On the other hand, AI methods themselves can be victims of data manipulation and poisoning, or be used by attackers for malicious purposes. AI and Security provides on overview of selected applications of AI techniques in security and reveals the fundamental mechanisms required for assessment of security of AI. Specific topics covered by the course include but are not limited to the following:

• AI methods for intrusion detection
• Malware analysis by means of AI methods
• AI methods for network security
• Data manipulation attacks against AI methods
• Security of AI in practical context
• Offensive AI

Grading

To support the holistic educational aim of artistic and technically skilled graduates, this report unites technical disciplines embedded in the curriculum into a compulsory document/ report.
It is coordinated with the lecturers of the technical subjects that are supporting it by iterative consultations. Intensive research, experiments on material or processing level, simulations, cooperation with industries, innovative interpretation of taught content and tools, are just some examples how students prove their technical skills applied to the design process of their individual project.

Aus der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass Architektinnen und Architekten in ihrem Schaffen selten alleine agieren. Gestützt auf diese Tatsache orientieren sich die Inhalte des Modules an Aufgaben wie dem Agieren im Team aber auch am adäquaten Umgang mit den Behörden oder externen Büros. Die Studierenden erhalten ein Gefühl dafür was es bedeutet eine erste Vision mit Fachplanerinnen und Fachplanern abzustimmen und wann welche Expertise benötigt wird.

The Free Master's Thesis builds on the student's preliminary study and is supervised individually by the unit. The thesis contains a developed hypothesis that is verified (or falsified) within the framework of a freely chosen design project. In addition to the actual design project, the free Master's thesis includes the design and production of the thesis book. This consists of three parts: the documentation of the design project, a theoretical report and a technical report. The formal aspects of the thesis and the thesis book are described in the Master's Thesis regulations.

Free project work, mentored by the unit.

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to

Successful completion of 3 Advanced Studios in the Master's degree programme. In addition, the Preliminary Study must have been completed with a minimum grade of 5.0.

Minimum 75% compulsory attendance, continuous assessment, midterm and final reviews.
The final grade is calculated according to the weighting of the following components: design project (60%), presentation (10%) and thesis book (30%: 10% theoretical report, 10% technical report and 10% project documentation).

This module, optionally to be undertaken in the third semester, serves as a basis for an individual Master’s Thesis, if successfully completed with a minimum grade of 5.0. The sustainable operation within a self-chosen area is critically analysed and applied. It contains a research question, an in-depth theoretical investigation as well as a conceptual outline for a Theoretical Report and a Technical Report. In the Preliminary Study the supervision consists of directing the preparation of the thesis proposal and the research design as well as the development of the student’s clear conceptual position. The Preliminary Study needs to be completed at the University of Liechtenstein and is reviewed before a panel of experts of the related research unit.

It contains a research question and a theoretical investigation that serve as a conceptual outline for the Theoretical and Technical Report of the aspired Master’s Thesis. Site, programme and user profile for a design proposal are evaluated and proposed.

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to

Minimum 75% compulsory attendance, continuous assessment and regular meetings with instructors.
The final grade is calculated according to the weighting of the following components: final submission (80%) and oral presentation (20%).

The research proposal is a research plan. The contents of the research proposal are governed by the curricula of the doctoral degree programmes. If a cumulative dissertation is intended, it is necessary to mention the publication journals and the number of publications planned. The formal aspects of the research proposal must comply with the "Guidelines for Writing Academic Papers at the University of Liechtenstein".

In the colloquium on the research proposal, the doctoral student shall present his/her dissertation project and provide reasons for his/her chosen approach.

The grade for the research proposal will be determined by taking the average of the grades given by the supervisor and the co-supervisor.
