Lecturing on Security Principles tommorow

Tommorow, from 11:00AM to 12:15PM CDT, I will be lecturing the CSE 4233 – Software Architecture and Design class here at Mississippi State University’s computer science department, where I’m working on my Ph.D. dissertation and security research. The lecture is on the basic security principles presented in the classic paper, “The Protection of Information in Computer Systems”, by Jerome H. Saltzer and Michael D. Schroeder.

I’m looking forward to meeting the students of this class, and I think I’ve got a pretty good lecture lined up for them.  I’ve made the slides and notes available here on my website, for the students, and anyone else who is interested:

A web accessible edition of the original Saltzer and Schroeder paper is available here.

    Wesley, thanks again. The following sentence in the pdf needs an edit:

    “It should be said, right upfront, that this has little to do with the open-source movement, or the
    supposed security benefits of open licenses (GPL, BSD, etc.) have.”

    Drop the “have” or the “of”.

    Thanks for posting this.
