# 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.
