Textbook and Reference
The following textbooks are recommended:
-
Computer & Network Security: a Hands-on Approach
-
Computer Security: Principal and Practice
Besides this, we'll also post some papers or reading as supplementary
materials. It's very important that you read the textbook or
papers in advance. There are also some references and
resources on the course web page.
Homework
For each topic we would like to discuss, one question will be
asked, you must write your answer to the question on paper, and
submit it BEFORE each class. Your answer will NOT be
graded, the only purpose of the homework is just to make sure
that you have put your best efforts in preparing the class.
Late homeworks will NOT be accepted, for ANY reasons.
Labs
This year's course will be based on a learning-by-doing
style, that is, for each topic we discussed, there will
be an accompanying lab. The purpose of the lab is for
you to gain the hands-on experience of the security
problem, its implications, and the possible mitigations.
Thus, you gain much deeper understanding and appreciate
the practical approach.
Programming assignment should be attempted
individually. If you cannot come up with an answer after trying,
you may talk about how to solve this problem
with your classmates, the instructor, the TAs, etc., but the final
submitted work should be your own ones.
