week-by-week breakdown
Week 1: tech intro: thinking about computer security

- What is this course about, and why are we here?
- Post-reading: Lessig, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, ch. 7
Week 2: tech intro: software quality and security
- Presenter: Keunwoo
- Topics: what is software quality? how do people measure it? how does this apply to security?
- Reading:
- This might be a good place to look at the regulatory approaches we are seeing now: Gramm-Leach-Bliley, FDA Regs 21 CFR Part-11, Sarbanes-Oxley section 404, HIPAA, FDA requirements for medical device software validation [1].
See also General info on FDA regulation of medical devices for a summary of device classification and the FDA certification process.

Resources to mine for other readings
- List of resources on economic approaches to security
- The people named in this flyer will probably have useful papers

Other notes
Legal discussion Led by Ben/lawyer in the room:
- What is tort?
- Does it apply to software? Why not?
- What about in the future, as Ben said, as more devices go online?
How many days worth of class is this? One for technical, one for legal, one for discussion? Perhaps on the 3rd day we could assign people to think about how they would improve software security given what they learned about law and tech.
