After successful completion of the course, students are able to discuss and review research papers published at top-tier security venues (USENIX Security, IEEE S&P, CCS, NDSS), both in terms of technical contribution and methodology. The will also have an overview of current and open research topics in the area of systems security, as well as the scientific publishing process and most important security conferences in general.
During each seminar a research paper published at a top tier security conference will be discussed.
On the on hand this should familiarize the participants with current research topics, potentially giving them ideas for directions to pursue in their Master thesis, or complimentary to their own research to get an overview about other topics in the field. Besides the technical contribution of the papers, potential limitations and opportunities for future work, the overall structure, methodology, and quality of the evaluation will be discussed.
