# Welcome to CS 839! This is a graduate-level course covering advanced topics in security and privacy. We will focus on four areas at the current research frontier: (1) differential privacy, (2) applied cryptography, (3) language-based security, and (4) adversarial machine learning. Students will read, present, and discuss papers from the research literature (i.e., conference and journal papers), and complete a final project. ## Logistics - **Course**: CS 839, Fall 2018 - **Location**: TBD - **Time**: Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:00-5:15 ## Course Staff - **Instructor**: Justin Hsu - **Email**: email@justinh.su - **Location**: TBD - **Office hours**: TBD - **TA**: TBD ## FAQ - Who should take this course? - What are the pre-requisites of this course? - How flexible are the topics? - Will this course be more theoretical or applied?
