Introduction to Secure Programming with Rust

Some programming experience is an advantage

• Starting with small exercises the language basics are introduced.
• Rust's copy and move semantics are shown by example leading to Rust's ownership model.
• We discuss how Rust prevents memory safety related vulnerabilities.

After the course the learner:

• knows Rust's basic language syntax
• understands Rust's copy and move semantics
• understands Rust's ownership model
• can enumerate the most important memory safety related vulnerabilities
• knows basic functional programming patterns

Rust’s rich type system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and thread-safety — enabling you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time.

Ownership is Rust’s most unique feature and has deep implications for the rest of the language.
