CMSC398A

Special Topics in Computer Science; Human Factors in Privacy and Security

This course will introduce students to the connections between computer security and human behavior. We'll consider the tension between primary and security goals as manifested in the actions of end users, software developers (tasked with writing secure software), and system administrators. Classwork will focus on reading academic papers and applying methods from these papers through exercises and homeworks.
