Security engineering is a specialized field of engineering that focuses on the security aspects in the design of systems that need to be able to deal robustly with possible sources of disruption, ranging from natural disasters to malicious acts. It is similar to other systems engineering activities in that its primary motivation is to support the delivery of engineering solutions that satisfy pre-defined functional and user requirements, but with the added dimension of preventing misuse and malicious behavior. These constraints and restrictions are often asserted as a security policy. In one form or another, security engineering has existed as an informal field of study for several centuries. For example, the fields of locksmithing and security printing have been around for many years.

Due to recent catastrophic events, most notably 9/11, Security Engineering has quickly become a rapidly growing field. Qualifications[edit] Typical qualifications for a security engineer are: 1. 2.

In a nutshell, the systems needed to support it properly just don't get built (blog). In Why bouncing droplets are a pretty good model of quantum mechanics, we solve an outstanding mystery in physics (see blog posts, three previous papers and older blog posts). Reading this may harm your computer – The psychology of malware warnings analyses what sort of text we should put in a warning if we actually want the user to pay attention to it (blog). 2013 highlights included Rendezvous, a prototype search engine for code; a demonstration that we could steal your PIN via your phone camera and microphone; an analysis of SDN Authentication; and papers on quantum computing and Bell's inequality.
