CSC 107 Introduction to Computer Security
CS 107 is an introduction to computer security, one of the "hottest" and most relevant areas of computing today. This is a course in the foundational aspects of security; not a course giving you practice in hacking. The student will develop an intuition about what computer security means, both in the abstract and in the context of real systems; be able to recognize potential threats to confidentiality, integrity and availability; be aware of some of the underlying formalisms and technologies that attempt to address these challenges; and be conversant with current security-related issues in the field.
