Learning Outcomes

This course is not about "how to build a secure system" in the first place. Rather, it fosters students' critical thinking to eventually being able to identify and articulate potential threats. By doing this, students will develop the skills necessary to formulate and address security needs in modern network architectures.

Content

In this course we discuss the security weaknesses and limitations of networks and its protocols. It covers introductory topics in computer and network security. This course is, however, not about "how to build a secure system" in the first place. Rather, it aims to foster critical thinking to identify and articulate potential threats. To this end, we will cover various attack vectors and discuss them in relation to specific adversary models. Examples include buffer overflows and shell code exploits, botnets and denial of service attacks, and security protocols such as OTR messaging, Tor, and Bitcoin. By doing this, students will develop the skills necessary to formulate and address security needs in modern network architectures.
