EE515/IS523: Security of Emerging Systems

Every scientific research starts from finding new problems. Likewise, the most important step in security research is to discover new attacks. Today, emerging systems — medical devices, autonomous vehicles, drones, cellular networks, blockchains, machine learning systems, satellites, and large language models — are being deployed faster than their security is understood. These systems fail through many kinds of vulnerabilities: user interface design, security by obscurity, deployment mistakes, and physical exposure. The main objective of this course is to learn how to think like an adversary: we look at various ingenious attacks and discuss why and how such attacks were possible. This is the first crucial step to design and deploy systems robust against attack.
