            Abstract : 
Unfortunately, students can graduate with a software engineering degree without learning anything about building secure systems. However, for the past two years at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, a software security course has been giving students the theoretical foundation and practical experience necessary to start comprehending software security issues.
