Broad introduction to the fundamental concepts, techniques and algorithms in machine learning. Many of these concepts use probability, statistics, linear algebra and calculus; since some of the algorithms are implemented, programming skills at a level sufficient to write a reasonable non-trivial computer program are desirable.

Specialized topics in security including advanced authentication techniques, user interface aspects, electronic and digital signatures, security infrastructures and protocols, software vulnerabilities affecting security, untrusted software and hosts, protecting software and digital content.
