We will cover privacy from different points of view such as smartphones, wearables, movement profiles, or cloud technologies. Finally, we will have excursions regarding Android Security, Spectre and Meltdown. In the end, we will close this course with our general course update regarding the latest topics related to that course coming up in the media or in the forum like the DDos attack on GitHub or the privacy discussions regarding Facebook.
