CS 444/544: Intro to Cybersecurity, Spring 2018
The syllabus is here and semester dates are here.
The "secpriv" mailing list is mandatory. We'll send important
announcements about the class to that list, but only the TA and myself will
send to the list. The "secpriv-chat" mailing list is highly recommended, all
students can post there and it's a good place for discussion, questions your
classmates might be able to answer, news related to the class, etc. Do
NOT put the "secpriv" mailing list in digest mode when you sign up. Here are
links to join the mailing lists for the class:
