Teaching

Teaching classes in your area of expertise are the best way to pass information to the next generation. Our teaching focuses on software security, security, and systems classes. Software Security is our key area of expertise and favorite subject to teach. To enable students to learn, Mathias created both an open text book (SS3P) along with class slides that are already used by several universities. To teach systems and operating systems, we refer to the excellent OSTEP book and Mathias has created a publicly available slide deck.
