Content of Learning Activity
This course has, by essence, an yearly evolving content, centered under the topic of the safe programmability of computer systems in general. The exact content of the course depends on the (constant) evolution of the technologies related to the cybersecurity and may also be influenced by the students' interests.
For illustrative purpose, here is the content of the last year course (the underlying topic will remain, but the exact topics may evolve):
- The Rust system programming language, and its perspectives for safe-by-design software
- Design of the (cleartext) Multipath TCP protocol, and the impact of middleboxes on the Internet
- Optimization of multipath algorithms for an application-tailored Multipath TCP
- The (encrypted) QUIC protocol: design, impact and perspectives
- eBPF: a virtual machine inside the operating system
- Trust in programmability: WebAssembly and the Trusted Execution Environments (ARM Trustzone, Intel SGX)
- Network programmability
