J. Mottl · 2023
The article focuses on computer security, especially on the teaching of this topic in secondary schools. From the broad topic of security, the article focuses mainly on authorization and authentication and the related tools used for these processes in web development. The main objective of the paper is to determine the extent of education on these topics in secondary schools. The paper provides an insight into the issue by means of a questionnaire survey conducted in a secondary vocational school with a focus on computer science. The results of this survey were compared with the results of the same questionnaire given to students of the Bachelor’s degree programme in Applied Informatics at the Faculty of Informatics and Management at the University of Hradec Kralove. The paper summarizes the results of the analysis of these questionnaires and provides insight into the importance of teaching computer security in secondary schools.
