CS4538 Schedule

CS4538 Mobile Device and Wireless Security (Winter AY2017)

CS4538 students -- Please note:

Lecture numbers (L1, L2, etc.) are linked to corresponding lecture notes. Generally, these will appear on this page soon after the lecture. Not all notes are in flowing text; usually they are in bullet form and highlight things we consider important about the area being discussed.
For all lectures, you MUST try and read the assigned papers and/or textbook section BEFORE lecture. You're likely to get the most out of each lecture if you read the material beforehand.
Pay attention to the due dates for homeworks, labs, and other deadlines. All deadlines are hard.
