CSE239B: Advanced Secure AI, Databases and Systems

This advanced security course explores the intersection of cryptography/security and modern computing systems. Students read, analyze, and discuss state-of-the-art research from top-tier AI/DB/System venues (IEEE S&P, USENIX, CCS, SIGMOD, PVLDB, SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) across the areas of Secure AI (privacy-preserving ML, differential privacy, private training and inference, federated learning, private RAG, model extraction defenses, watermarking, adversarial robustness) and Secure Databases and Systems (secure query processing, oblivious computation, query optimization for secure computation, hardware enclaves, side-channel attacks and defenses, private messaging systems). 

Enrollment is restricted to graduate students. CSE 108/CSE 206C or CSE 108C/CSE 239A or equivalent recommended but not required.
