  • Course Overview

    • Globally, there is particular interest in secure computing and sustainable computing, and it also aligns well with UN’s digital security and sustainability goals. Information and communication technology devices are responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions. One of the reasons being abundant amount of computing/electronic systems around us and their exponential increase to support Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications with the aim to enhance lives, efficiency, privacy and latency. Further, attacks on these devices are intensifying, causing loss in billions to organizations. This course will dive into different approaches to be taken in designing computing/electronic systems towards enhancing security and sustainability, which will also enhance profit, trust and life while also fulfilling the related government regulations in the future.


    The course will start with familiarizing the importance and fundamentals of secure and sustainable computing for systems of various scales, providing familiarization with practical problems faced by organisations and potential solutions, provide current system design trends on digital security and sustainability and cover relate related tools and techniques. This is expected to enhance the capability of the participants to identify problems related to digital security and sustainability and apply suitable measures in electronic devices. The candidates will also be provided with the directions for the future research and development based on emerging trends.

    Course participants will learn these topics through lectures and tutorials. Also case studies will be shared to stimulate research motivation of participants.
