Security Applications

Instructor

Professor Vaneet Aggarwal, Engineering

Course Description:

 This is the fourth foundational course in the “Design for Security” Badge program. This course introduces different example applications to illustrate the secure design principles from the physical secure design of the infrastructure, to the security of the hardware and software that underlie the infrastructure, and then to the technical constraints and processes in place to support operational security. Some of the applications that we will study include databases, network security, cloud computing, machine learning, autonomous vehicles, and blockchain.
