Multithreading is a program execution technique that allows for concurrent (simultaneous) execution of two or more parts of a program (threads) for maximum utilization of a CPU. Multi-threaded applications are applications that have two or more threads that run concurrently. Therefore, it is also known as concurrency. With the rise of multi-core machines, multithreading and concurrency concepts are essential skills for Software Engineers.

Producing secure programs requires secure designs. The best software design can lead to insecure programs if developers are unaware of the security pitfalls inherent in programming. This three-day course provides a detailed explanation of common programming errors in C and C++ and describes how these errors can lead to code that is vulnerable to exploitation. This course will cover topics and techniques for development of secure C++ programs. Topics will range the gamut from high level security and risk concepts and design strategies to low-level memory access exploitation and injection attacks. General secure development approaches applicable to any language will be discussed, but the course will also focus on C++-specific techniques and pitfalls to avoid. Topics include string management, dynamic memory management, integer security, formatted output, and file I/O.
