SWE 624: Cybersecurity and Software Systems (PhD-level course)

This course teaches the principles of cyber-security aspects, with a particular emphasis upon the security properties and implications on software and information technologies. It provides the opportunity to focus on the application of these principles, the best practices and the current advances in the field. More specifically this course will provide the knowledge and skills that will support the development of secure, robust, and reliable software systems by detecting fraud, upholding the trust, and safeguarding privacy. The traditional information, computer, and network security constitutes the basics on which we rely, but go further in studying research approaches, models, and methodologies for the design, implementation, and testing of secure software systems. The course will also expose the students to the research trends in the area.
