This course on Information and Computer Security will cover a range of advanced topics and current research in the field. One component of the course will consist of formal lectures in the traditional format. However, a major component of the course is based on students (individually or in small groups) researching an advanced topic with the help of academic research publications. A list of suggested topics and papers will be provided on the course web site. The result of the research, including a critical discussion, will be presented in the form of a seminar.
