+ | **Project Description: | ||
+ | Modern sociotechnical systems share and collect vast amounts of information. These systems violate users’ privacy by ignoring the context in which the information is shared and failing to incorporate contextual information norms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using techniques in natural language processing, machine learning, network, and data analysis, this project is set to explore the privacy implications of mobile apps, online platforms, and other systems in different social contexts/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To tackle this challenge, the project will operationalize a cutting-edge privacy theory and methodologies to conduct an analysis of existing technologies and design privacy-enhancing tools. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Students will help analyze information handling practices of online services and design privacy-enhancing tools. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Specific tasks include: comprehensive literature review of existing methodologies and tools, analysis of privacy policies and regulations, | ||

- | For this project you will strengthen the security of an autograder process for either Python or Java code for the PrairieLearn platform. You will start by creating possible attack vectors in the form of code that is expected to cause the autograder to pass a test without actually returning the expected results. Examples of attack vectors include code that saves or outputs well-formatted values that are interpreted by the autograder as a success, code that is able to identify secret information from the autograder code, and/or code that crashes the original autograder process. Then you will implement safeguards that ensure student-submitted code is unable to bypass container sandbox limitations, | + | For this project you will strengthen the security of an autograder process for either |
You will work in coordination with the supervisor and the PrairieLearn developer community to brainstorm possible strategies and guidelines. Your final deliverable will be a pull request to the PrairieLearn codebase with the proposed fix. | You will work in coordination with the supervisor and the PrairieLearn developer community to brainstorm possible strategies and guidelines.
