This course provides an introduction to the new area of Security Engineering, and provides examples drawn from recent research at UMASS and elsewhere. Security Engineering is a multi-disciplinary field combining technical aspects of Applied Cryptography, Computer Engineering, and Networking as well as issues from Psychology, Sociology, Policy and Economics. Several guest lectures will be presented by experts in these disciplines.

The students will learn about engineering and optimization of modern complex information gathering and utilization systems from the modeling of the subsystems and estimators to the abstraction of these systems in terms of information of oriented metrics and the integration and optimization of such systems. They will learn how advanced multi-objective optimization methods are used to generate design vectors in design space and their image in objective space for purposes of supporting the decision making that drives the optimization and evolution of such engineered systems.
