S-MultidsplnSt/Security&Privcy

Evaluating and addressing the security and privacy needs of real systems is increasingly a multidisciplinary task. Even if systems could be "fully secured" against all technical vulnerabilities they would still play a role in violating higher-layer policies. For example, most systems can be used to aid and abet crimes that harm persons, steal resources, or play a role in creating risk. Interdisciplinary work has a greater chance at addressing problems beyond technical flaws. In this course, we will use blockchain solutions as a platform for studying these issues.
