ADVANCED COMPUTER SECURITY AND PRIVACY

COMPSCI 542

Teaches the security considerations that occur during all steps of the software development life cycle: methodologies for designing secure software, programming using secure programming techniques, in-depth vulnerability assessment methodologies, static and dynamic analysis tools for evaluating software security, and system defenses reducing security threats.

COMPSCI/ECE 763

Explore security and privacy aspects of trustworthy artificial intelligence. Three core subjects will be considered: differential privacy and algorithmic fairness; adversarial machine learning; and end-to-end trustworthy systems. A selection of more advanced topics may be covered such as additional notions of privacy, language-based security, and robust optimization. Knowledge of probability/statistics (such as MATH 431), cryptography (such as MATH 435), security (such asCOMP SCI 642), and modern machine learning (such asM E/​COMP SCI/​E C E  539or540) is required.

COMPSCI 880

Advanced topics in algorithms, complexity, and cryptography. The exact topic varies.

COMPSCI 642

Senior level undergraduate course covering various topics on information security. Covers a wide range of topics, such as cryptographic primitives, security protocols, system security, and emerging topics. Elementary knowledge of mathematical logic and discrete probability theory needed, such asMATH/​COMP SCI  240.

LEGALST/LIS 460

Examines individual privacy and government information collection in law enforcement, security, public health, administrative law, and other contexts from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
