The course results now also state the ECTS grades, for those who require them.

The course results are now available here. Please accept my sincere apologies for the terrible delay!

The exam results will not appear until early next week (week 44), sorry about the delay.

The course evaluation is now open! Please go to http://evaluering.ibg.uu.se/it and fill it in - you will help improve the course for future students.

• Solution sketches of earlier assignments (see below) are now available on the web pages of respective years.

• The seminar on Monday (Oct 15) will start at 9:15 and stop at 12. Please let me know if you can not do your presentation 9-10.

• Please note that all handins should be signed by all who hand in; each should send a digitally signed copy including the assurance or a paper copy with physical signatures (also including the assurance). If you haven't already done this, please do it.
• Please also let me know how you worked on your PMs. If you worked on different parts, send me an email and let me know, or write a description in your PM if you haven't handed it in yet.
• Older exams are not available since there haven't been any, but you can check the hand-in assignments of earlier years: 2004, 2005, and 2006. But please note that the exam will be easier!
• I'm trying to make the seminar session on Oct 15 longer, from 9 to 12, to fit more presentations. It is currently over-booked.

• Clarification of question 4 on the hand-in assignment available. Let me know if you need more.

Due to popular demand I've arranged an extra seminar session: Wednesday Oct 10, 10-12. Let me know when you wish to present, and if you can not present a particular day/time.

The lecture tomorrow (Wednesday) will be seminar presentations, and will most likely be finished by 11.

• If you want to do lab 2 after the scheduled class you must talk to Magnus first. The computer you need to break into will not be available otherwise.
• A preliminary programme for the oral presentations (seminars) is now available.

• Lab instruction for lab 2 are now available.
• The hand-in assignment for network/software security is now available, as are the hand-in instructions.

• Information about the examination updated.
• Brief answers to the questions on pre-exam 1 (Sep 10) are finally on the web - sorry, this slipped my mind for too long!
• Group list slightly updated.

Only three groups signed up for PM+presentation (the first seminar session will be Wednesday October 3). There is room for more groups! And there will be more sessions.

Nearest future:

• Wednesday (tomorrow): lecture continuing Access Control, and Reference Monitors.
• Thursday: pre-exam introducing Security Models. Please read sections 8.1-8.2, 9.1, 9.4 (and the rest of chapters 8-9 if you are ambitious!).
• Friday: group lab in room 1312. Instructions will be available in advance.

• Due to technical problems, the lab (planned for Friday) will be postponed until next week.
• Since there will be no lab on Friday, I will instead start with chapter 4 on the Friday lecture.
• Because of the short time for preparation, the "pre-exam" next week will not cover chapter 4.
• Due to lack of time (still only 24 hours/day!) the examination of the course will change focus from continuous group examination, and the final exam will cover more material. I am very sorry about this.
• More information about the reflection system is now available.
• Results for lab 1 and pre-exam 1 are now available.

• The group list has been updated (and the involved people notified by email).
• The lecture on Wednesday will cover chapter 15.
• The course reflection system is now enabled; your first opportunity to use it will be the lecture on Wednesday. Reflections will be possible from Wednesday 10.15 until Friday 01.00 (am).
• There will be a "pre-exam" covering chapters 4 and 5 on Wednesday next week.
• Friday's lecture is replaced by a lab session - details and instructions will appear soon.

• Lecture notes for Network security available under "Overview".
• If you can, please bring an extra copy of your Thawte form and photo ID - there will be four notaries present.

The group list is now available to registered students. Send a message to me if you can't log in and see it!

There will be a notarization event for Thawte certificates on Friday (Sep 14) at the end of the lecture, i.e. around 12 o'clock. See instructions here!

• Most students can now edit the FAQ and links pages - see the bottom of those pages for how. If you can't login, let me know.

• Please read chapter 11 for the Monday lecture!
• I created a new GPG/PGP key so you can try sending me encrypted email. (For S/MIME, send me an email and I'll reply with a signed email containing my certificate.)

Lab instructions updated: you can use webmail for the PGP variant, if you use the FireGPG extension for Firefox. (Thanks Kristoffer!)

• Overview pages (with lecture notes) updated, and some lecture notes now available.
• First lab available.
