COSC 69.22 Topics in Architecture and Security

Computer security requires that computation happens correctly despite action by a malicious adversary.  However, computation doesn’t occur in some magical ether, but on electrical machines in the physical world.  Thinking about security in terms of these electrical machines gives rise to techniques for both attack and defense.  This course will survey many of these techniques, and will reinforce this survey via hands-on exercises.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
