Available Resources

Secure Coding: Lecture notes and class materials for CSE 8990-01 Special Topics in Computer Science: Secure Coding, given Spring 2007. This was a graduate course on developing secure software. The course assumed that students have already had an introduction to computer security. These materials could be helpful in similar courses at other universities. The public has permission from the authors to freely copy and adapt these materials for educational purposes.

Slides and notes on regression models of software metrics data (supported by NSF grant CCR-0132673):
