The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the concepts, technologies, practices and challenges of Information Trust. The course takes a broad view of Information Security and Privacy and covers the essential principles for the protection of information systems; the relevant technologies; risk management; organizational concerns; policies, human aspects; legal approaches; criminology; and ethical issues. Students will gain an appreciation for the difficulty of designing, developing, deploying and maintaining information systems, services and software products that are secure and comply with expectations of privacy. Course content will address the multi-faceted challenges associated with this space and the complex tradeoffs that are often entailed in addressing these challenges in practice. The course format will include lectures and a discussion/lab session that will provide hands on experience.

We start with an overview of the R language, which will become the foundation for your work in this class. Then we'll move on to other useful tools, including working with regular expressions, basic UNIX tools, XML, and SQL. We'll also cover supervised and unsupervised statistical learning techniques made possible by recent advances in computing power. This course is very computer-oriented, so it's very important to take the time outside of class to learn by doing - to explore the software we'll be covering in class, and try out new skills on real datasets in the homework assignments.
