Developing Secure Systems

DESCRIPTION

This course, taught by Associate Professor James Joshi, focuses on developing secure and high-assurance information systems. Students will learn to analyze software for vulnerabilities, understand secure programming practices in languages such as C, C++, and Java, and apply security engineering principles throughout the software development life cycle. Key topics include buffer overflows, SQL injection, secure coding standards, and risk analysis. By the end of the course, students will have gained practical skills in designing and implementing secure systems.
