Seminar on Security and Economic Incentives

With rapid advances of Internet technology, security concerns and economic incentives have become crucial in the world of computing. In this seminar, we discuss recent research results and problems in the areas of computer security and economic incentives. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: privacy-preserving data mining, privacy in databases, incentive-compatible mobile computing, wireless network security, computational game theory, and applied cryptography. We stress on a balance of practical usefulness and theoretical depth; most papers covered in this class attempt to solve practically interesting problems using mathematically rigorous methods.

This is a research seminar with the target of exposing students to frontier research. There are no homeworks or exams. A number of lectures are given by the instructor and other classes are student presentations and discussions. Each student is also required to study a topic assigned by the instructor and submit a written report.
