This is a class devoted to the study of securing distributed systems, with blockchain-based cryptocurrencies serving as our real platform of interest. We'll start with the fundamentals of Lamport's, Fischer's, and Douceur's results that fence-in all consensus system, and discuss Byzantine fault tolerance. We'll also look at the efficiency of the network architectures for peer-to-peer;distributed system communication and attacks on their security, such as denial of service attacks. And we'll review relevant applied cryptography such as elliptic curves.

This course provides an in-depth examination of the fundamental principles of information assurance: authentication, integrity, confidentiality of distributed systems, network security, malware, privacy, intrusion detection, intellectual property, and protection.

This course will provide an introduction to the tools and techniques needed to construct and analyze performance models of computer systems, distributed systems, and communication networks.

This course covers advanced fundamental principles of computer networks, studying foundational material in the field. Topics include advanced network architecture, network algorithmics, network control, network measurement, and wireless networks. The goal of this course is to teach networking fundamentals/techniques that will be useful for years to come. Undergraduate background in networking, algorithms, probability theory, and optimization will be helpful.

In this course, students examine the definition of religion, its role in gender discrimination, the influence of time on its operation, and the problem of violence and religion as they learn about Shinto, Buddhism, and new religions of Japan. The course thus helps students to broaden their perspectives concerning religion, as well as to gain basic understanding of Japanese culture. (Gen. Ed. HS, DG)

Exploration of Japan's secular and religious arts and their impact on gendered literary texts, such as early aristocratic women's writings and medieval warrior epics. Films about the traditional theater, which influenced the culture of sexuality, and about the Zen-inspired art of the tea ceremony, which reflected political upheaval. Locating points of intersection between art and literature, religion and politics in modern Japan under Western influence. Conducted in English. No prerequisites. (Gen.Ed. I, DG)
