Program Overview

Trusted Systems Engineering Program

The Trusted Systems Engineering program is part of the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS) Master of Science in Engineering Online (MSOL) program.

Program Description

This course, ENGR XLC 204, is available only to students pre-approved by HSSEAS. The program focuses on building systems that can protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, involving more than composing systems from network security, computer security, data security, cryptography, etc.

Course Details

• Course Title: Trusted Systems Engineering
• Course Code: ENGR 204
• Instructor: K. Kung
• Lecture Hours: Four hours
• Course Description: Trust is placed in information systems to behave properly, but cyber threats and breaches have become routine, including penetration of financial, medical, government, and national security systems.

Program Objectives

The program aims to ensure that systems are architected, designed, implemented, tested, and operated for specific levels of trust. Aspects include:

• Assessing vulnerability and risk for systems
• Establishing protection principles
• Using them as a guide to formulate system architectures
• Translating architecture into system design and verifying correctness of design
• Constructing and following trusted development and implementation process

Program Availability

The course is not available this quarter.
