UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
This course has an yearly evolving content. A first part will have as main theme the development of solutions providing both extensible and secure systems, at both host-level and network-level. Privacy aspects will also be discussed.
The remaining course's content will depend on the evolution of cybersecurity-related technologies and may be influenced by students' interests.
Covered themes include (but are not limited to): transport protocol extensibility ((Multipath) TCP, QUIC,...), in-kernel (eBPF) and in-browser (WebAssembly) virtual machines,...
Prior Experience
Basic knowledge of computer systems and network protocols such as TCP is a plus
