Overview | Schedule | Readings | Attack Presentation | Course Project
Your course project should address an important, interesting security problem. You may choose a research-focused topic (something that could turn into a conference paper) or an industry-focused topic (something that could turn into a marketable product), though your work does not necessarily have to be ready for publication or sale by the end of the term.
Your proposal should consist of a 2-3 page description of your project that includes the following: You're welcome to come see me during office hours, or make an appointment, if you need any additional advice on your project. Each group will give a 15 minute in-class presentation about their results, in the style of a conference talk. I'll post a presentation schedule towards the end of the semester. Your group's final project report should be written in the style of a conference submission, like most of the papers we have read this semester. Please include an abstract, an introduction that motivates the problem you are trying to solve, a related work section that differentiates your contributions, and detailed sections about your methodology and results.
The length of your report should not exceed 8 pages in USENIX format. Please submit it to me via email.Project Proposal —
