The link between Digital Security/Privacy by Design and skills needs

By Achim D. Brucker.

Currently the UK government pushes a concept called Digital Security by Design (DSbD) that focuses on utilising novel hardware features to improve the security and trustworthiness of systems. Actually, Digital Security (and Privacy) by Design is a much broader concept focusing on security and privacy of systems right of systems right from the start of their development. And it also links to the - often misunderstood - concept of the Trusted Computing Base (TCB).

In this presentation, I will introduce the core guidelines for building systems that are secure and privacy aware "by Design", putting a particular emphasis on the skills needed to understand and apply these concepts and while teaching those skills can be challenging.
