This course provides a comprehensive overview of advanced topics in cybersecurity. Students will get an opportunity to engage with published research through reading and discussion. The course will cover both classic papers and recent results in systems security, network security, applied cryptography, and privacy. Concurrently with reading and evaluating research, groups of students will work on a novel cybersecurity research project on a topic of their choosing. The course will culminate in a research symposium, with groups presenting their findings to the class. (3 credits)
