COSC 55
Security and Privacy
The migration of important social processes to distributed, electronic systems raises critical security and privacy issues. Precisely defining security and privacy is difficult; designing and deploying systems that provide these properties is even harder. This course examines what security and privacy mean in these settings, the techniques that might help, and how to use these techniques effectively. Our intention is to equip computer professionals with the breadth of knowledge necessary to navigate this emerging area.
