I've revised the slides on Information & Network Security for Monday's lecture.

~ Monday/Wednesday's lectures (28 and 30/11/16) will have a course recap and an overview of the exam format. ~ Note that past exam papers (for CS5008) are in the Assessment page of the course Website. I've added last year's paper ("Winter 2015"). These should also serve a guide to the types of questions in the CS6509 class test.

Updated: 22/11/16:
The date for the class test for CS6509 (Data Science students) is Friday, 16th Dec. The room and time are yet to be confirmed. The test will be a written test, 45 minutes in duration, and will examine the material in Lectures 9 to 22.
