Information security and privacy

This course provides an overview of information security and privacy topics. It introduces students to the knowledge and tools they will need to deal with the security/privacy challenges they are likely to encounter in today's world. The tools are illustrated with relevant applications.

Software security

This course focuses on software security fundamentals, secure coding guidelines and principles, and advanced software security concepts. Students learn to assess and understand threats, learn how to design and implement secure software systems, and get hands-on experience with security pitfalls.

Topics in software security

Memory corruption and type safety flaws dominate the threat landscape. We will approach current research from three dimensions: sanitization (finding flaws through runtime monitors); fuzzing (testing software automatically); and mitigation (protecting software at runtime).
