Secure Systems Engineering

A first course in the design and implementation of secure and private systems. Attacks against low-level programming, secure software engineering practices, and the use of Rust to develop secure systems. Detailed study of important secure systems such as TLS, messaging, and anonymity networks. Side channels and back doors in security-sensitive systems. Advanced topics and case studies in secure systems engineering. The course will culminate in a final project where students will engineer a secure system for a chosen application.
