Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in computer science intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary.

Cybersecurity and privacy solutions are often designed to address the needs of the majority. Increasingly, researchers have recognized that some people -- particularly those in vulnerable situations -- may have different security and privacy requirements and may experience greater harm if these requirements are not met. The course will include lectures, but it will be driven by student presentations of research papers. Additionally, students will complete course projects -- ideally, aligned with their existing research -- to put into practice the ideas covered in the readings. The course will assume only a basic prior understanding of security, privacy, and HCI; however, students with more expertise in these areas may get more out of their course projects. Prerequisite CS 225.
