Title:Computer Security Brief Description: This class will provide a graduate-level introduction to issues of computer security, particularly as they apply to securing system software and computer networks. Topics to be covered will include basic principles of security, tools for providing computer security, access control, applied cryptography and cryptographic protocols, authentication, firewalls and intrusion detection systems, and malicious code. Grading basis: Midterm, final, and group project.

Title: CS 239: Readable Software Systems Efficient, reliable, and flexible software systems must be easy to program, so that programmers can analyze and improve their performance and correctness. Students will read recent systems literature, focusing on tractability, programmability, and ease of analysis. Suitable for systems students and for programming languages students with systems leanings. The major course effort this quarter will be a team-based course project on component-based systems. I hope that several teams will tackle the construction and possibly partial verification of a component-based OS kernel. Other projects are acceptable. There will not be as much of a focus on research papers this quarter. Grading will be based on projects and student presentations. Prerequisites Significant programming experience required. Not appropriate for most undergraduates.
