Abstract
This article presents an overview of a graduate-level course in computer security that I created and presented at The American University in Washington D.C. It should be of interest to SIGSAC Review readers who want an overview of the subject or who are teaching similar courses. There are three key elements:1. Course syllabus. This includes a course outline. Emphasis is placed on balanced coverage of all major relevant issues rather than specialized coverage of a few.2. List of research assignments. Twenty two projects are listed. These are areas where computer security research is needed. Work in any area should provide good material for a paper.3. Examinations. Seventy five questions are listed, along with their answers. These can serve as an introduction and reference for computer security neophytes.
