E&C-ENG H371 Honors Colloquium for Introduction to Security Engineering

This honors colloquium combines theory and experimentation in security engineering.  The colloquium will focus on Machine Learning and the threats and vulnerabilities that arise in embedded applications, focusing on image analysis.  It will build on the security engineering principles and methods developed in the main part of the course.  Students will use modern cloud-based software packages and data-sets from the ML research community and will leverage current UMass research in secure embedded systems.  A lab project will be used to demonstrate security threats and solutions in image recognition applications.
