EE 515/IS 523: Security 101: Think Like an Adversary

News Report

Introduction Every student needs to submit a summary of news once.
Submission: You should post your summary at the KLMS. The link will be provided later.

Topic: News and research papers should deal with security issues. Your content should be different from others. Therefore, always check the current postings. News must be fresh: it should be published within two weeks from the due dates.

I prefer investigative/data journalism. In other words, we want to learn from news. So simply saying that "there was a DDoS on Israel Stock Exchange" is not enough.
Do not rely on a single source. Read related articles and analyze what happened and why such events happened. Discuss how to mitigate such problems.
Bibliography should be added at the end of your summary.
Security news can be found easily from "The register", "Ars Technica", "Bruce Schneier's blog", "F-secure web blog", etc.
Or use twitter to follow people who posts a lot of security news. (e.g. mikko, e_kaspersky, arstechnica, csoghoian, schneierblog, teamcymru, DarkReading, ...)

Research paper should be published within the past three years.
It should be published in a top security conference such as ACM CCS, IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, Usenix Security or ISOC NDSS.
For papers published in other conference, please get permission from me before posting.
To summarize a paper, you often need to read more than one paper, as you might not have enough background on the topic.
