![](/resources/images/icons/icon-docent.png)
Aims
After successfully completing this course, the student can
- design the security architecture for a a real-time secure multimedia system, selecting the algorithms as well as the parameters;
- implement the security functionality of a real-time secure multimedia system efficiently on programmable processors;
- collaborate with a colleague to design and test the implementation.
Previous knowledge
The student has acquired the basic knowledge of digital hardware and cryptography, as covered in the first stage of this master.

Content
For a secure real-time multimedia system, we have chosen a combination of digital signal processing of audio, cryptography, network communication and the combined hardware/software design. A candidate for this type of system is a secured speech communication system. The different tasks (such as compression and encryption) will be implemented on digital signal processors (DSP).
Course material
All necessary material is available on Toledo.
Evaluation
Evaluation: P&D ICT Security and Networks (B-KUL-H2E91a)
Explanation
The project work is evaluated by means of reports, presentations and of permanent evaluation by the teaching team. To pass the course, the student must have developed sufficiently the three parts of the project (algorithmic design, PC implementation, optimisation for the DSP).
Information about retaking exams
Depending on the reasons for failure, an extra specific assignment will be given. This assignment must be completed within one month.
