This course introduces distributed systems security concepts and practices. The course starts by discussing core concepts of distributed systems such as characterization and models, communication and remote invocation, consistency, and replication. In addition, it discusses security protocols in distributed systems, including secure multiparty computation, access control, multi-level security, and secure distributed systems development. Finally, an introduction to mobile computing security is presented.
