Course Description
This course will cover the design and analysis of secure
systems. It will combine theoretical understanding with hands-on
experience in adopting individual security protocols and technologies
to develop a functioning whole.
The course will be structured around a semester-long group project to
build a secure location sharing system much like Google
Latitude. Students will learn to apply techniques related to
authentication, access control, database security, network security, privacy, usability, and so on.
Students will be evaluated through class interaction,
homework assignments, a lab-based class project, and a
final exam. Graduate students will be required to submit a research review
paper on a security or privacy related topic.
This
course is targeted at upper-class undergraduate and graduate students.
CS Graduate Credit?
MS: I-433 is on the approved list for an MS in
CS. Alternatively you can register under course CSCI-B 649.
PhD: For I-433, "No permission is needed for PhD students to
apply graduate Informatics courses towards the 90 credits for the CS
PhD. However, the required 24 core credits in CS must be satisfied by
CS courses." Alternatively, you can register under CSCI-B 649.
