Fundamentals of CyberSecurity This course studies the mathematical models for computer security (Bell- LaPadula, Clark-Wilson, Biba, and Gligor models). It analyzes and compares, with respect to formal and pragmatic criteria, the properties of various models for hardware, software, and database security. Topics also include: formal specification and verification of security properties, operating system security, trust management, multi-level security, security labeling, security auditing and intrusion detection, security policy, safeguards and countermeasures, risk mitigation, covert channels, identification and authentication, password schemes, access control lists, and data fusion techniques. The course includes a project.

Ed is AT&T Senior Vice President, Chief Security Officer, and an AT&T Fellow.
Ed is presently responsible for the real-time protection of AT&T's infrastructure from cyber attack. This includes planning, design, operations, audit support, real-time monitoring, and incident response for all of AT&T's networks, systems, and applications in support of its massive wireless and wireline service infrastructure, as well as all hosting, application, and managed services. Ed has written five books on cyber security, has published dozens of research articles on cyber security, and is the 2010 recipient of the AT&T Fellow award. He has been serving as an adjunct professor at Stevens for twenty-two years, following in the footsteps of his father, Serafino Amoroso who taught computer science at Stevens from 1967 to 1988. Ed holds the B.S. degree in physics from Dickinson College, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Stevens. Ed is also a graduate of the Columbia Business School. His work has been featured prominently in major news outlets and he serves as a senior advisor to many government agencies. In addition, during the past few years, Ed has filmed hundreds of short videos on cyber security - including the popular "security tips" series. These can be found at http://techchannel.att.com.
