Course Description
This course will cover several security concepts through the lens of privacy. Topics include peer-to-peer and anonymizing networks, personal data in the cloud, usable design for control over personal information, social networking, location and activity sharing, privacy of personal health records, and cryptographic techniques for enhancing privacy. We will also discuss legal issues related to network communication, electronic publishing of photos and videos, and data in the cloud.
Students will be evaluated through class participation, biweekly
homework assignments, a term paper or class project on a
privacy-related topic of their choosing, two hourly exams, and a
final.
This
course is targeted at upper-class undergraduate and graduate students.
