Introduction
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department offers a graduate certificate in Computer Systems Security consisting of five courses from its graduate curriculum. These courses provide a solid foundation in state-of-the-art techniques in securing computer systems.
By completing the courses associated with this certificate, students will become familiar with state-of-the-art techniques for protecting computer systems against security weaknesses. These weaknesses include software attacks on computer systems, hardware reverse engineering, and networking hardware attacks, among others. Students will receive a solid mathematical foundation on attacks' nature and evaluate cryptographic techniques to prevent them. The evolving nature of computer systems security and many computer hardware and software companies make this certificate attractive.
