MITRE's eCTF (embedded capture-the-flag) is an embedded security competition that puts participants through the experience of trying to create a secure system and then learning from their mistakes. The main target is a real physical embedded device, which opens the scope of the challenge to include physical/proximal access attacks. The eCTF is a two-phase competition with attack and defense components. In the first phase, competitors design and implement a secure system based on a set of challenge requirements. The second phase involves analyzing and attacking the other teams' designs.

This course will give students a deep exposure to cloud computing enabling technologies, its main building blocks, the design strategies behind scalable and fault tolerant cloud architectures, and an in-depth understanding through homeworks projects and exams. We learn about data center networks and their topologies, cloud transport layer, file systems, handling big data, enabling consistent data store, virtualization, and the softwarization trends in cloud computing.

Phased arrays are a key component in radars, wireless and satellite communications, remote sensing and imaging systems, and in scientific instruments such as radio telescopes. This course will provide a working knowledge of the key parameters of modern phased array antenna systems. Students will learn to critically evaluate the performance of phased array antenna systems and their main building blocks, with emphasis on factors that are important for high-performance radar and communication systems. Concepts, theory models and design principles will be developed.

Lecture, laboratory. Metrology fundamentals. Advanced microwave measurement techniques including error correction, de-embedding, and noise effects in amplifiers and oscillators. Prerequisites: familiarity with microwave CAD software, basic microwave theory.

Theory and techniques used in the design of modern microwave and millimeter wave active circuits. Emphasis on amplifier and oscillator circuits using devices such as FETs, HEMTs, HBTs and optoelectronic devices. Modern reference material used as much as possible.

Introduction to data analytics. Data preparation, similarity and distances, association pattern mining and cluster analysis, outlier analysis, data classification, textual and time-series data, privacy issues, analysis of social networks.

Fundamental concepts and systems aspects of computer networks. Topics include a review of the layered Internet architecture and encompass router design, lookup and classification algorithms, scheduling algorithms, congestion control, wireless protocols, and network security. The goal of the course is to explore the key technical and research questions in computer networks as well as to convey the necessary analytical, simulation, and measurement techniques.

A graduate version of E&C-Eng 570 which includes additional readings from research papers and coverage on concepts for specific operating system modalities, such as distributed, embedded, mobile, and secure operating systems.
