Description: This is a course on Computer Security aimed at graduate students. It is also appropriate for advanced undergraduates and I2CS students with some background in security. See the Security Roadmap for an overall survey of security course offerings at UIUC.
Topics in CS463 will include: foundations of access control, security policies, non-interference, key management, identities and anonymity, access control mechanisms, information flow, confinement, formal specifications and verification of security policies and protocols, vulnerability analysis, intrusion detection, and program security. Reading related to these topic will be drawn from Computer Security Art and Science by Matt Bishop chapters 3, 7, 8, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 29 and supplementary papers. Please follow the link to the errata pages for this book. The course is designed and the lectures taught by Carl A. Gunter. The material will cover both practical and theoretical aspects of computer security. Assessment will consist of a midterm, a final exam, and a project.
