General

Students taking this course will get a broad understanding of platform

security techniques used in mobile devices today and will be exposed to

open problems and research issues in this area. The course consists of

six sessions. The first lecture will cover the fundamentals and

background needed to understand platform security in general. Subsequent

lectures will cover hardware and software platform security techniques

and usability aspects of mobile platform security in particular and

mobile security in general. The course will include optional programming

assignments. A group of students will be assigned to take notes during

each lecture and produce a cleaned up lecture notes for each lecture.

Optionally, each student can produce a short paper describing a platform

security problem they would like on. This will be the basis for a

subsequent special assignment for extra credit. Evaluation will be based

on homework exercises and lecture notes. Successfully completed

programming assignments will give an extra credit. There will be no exam.
