# 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**: CS 1325 - **Time**: Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:00-5:15 ## Mailing List Please use the mailing list if you want to contact the whole course: - [compsci839-1-f18@lists.wisc.edu](compsci839-1-f18@lists.wisc.edu) All registered students should be on this list.
