Computer Security Lab: Rice University

Much of the distributed systems work we do here is built using FreePastry, a general-purpose substrate for building peer-to-peer applications.

Every year, we teach Comp527: Computer Systems Security, which attracts both graduate students and talented undergrads.

Not everybody is happy to have independent security researchers studying how their systems work. We wouldn’t be able to do as much as we do without help from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Avi Rubin maintains a fantastic list of crypto and security courses taught around the world.
