IS 340A -- Intro to IA -- Lectures

These slide files are coded to the corresponding chapters in Volumes I & II of the Computer Security Handbook, 5th Edition edited by Sy Bosworth, M. E. Kabay & Eric Whyne, editors (2009, Wiley). Front matter available online; AMAZON link.

The MS-PowerPoint files (PPTX) are available for students and in IS340 & IS342; the PDF notes are distributed during classroom lectures. Useful for study and review; however, I have abolished Death by PowerPoint and now conduct discussions with occasional videos to enliven the two weekly 1.5-hour course sessions.

Students should read or at least scan the assigned readings before coming to class. To encourage such preliminary reading, I will use several unannounced in-class quizzes to test student's knowledge of the assignments.
