Name: Project proposal
Type: Slides/Presentation
Deadline: Oct 1, 10am
Percent of Total Grade: 1%
Before the first class, prepare (individually, not in groups) a one-slide pitch for a possible project. Sample projects include: password manager, secure email or messaging client, secure escrow for passwords in case of emergencies, mobile money application, web shopping cart, electronic voting system, two-factor authentication system, fake news detector. You may use the above list as inspiration, and your idea does not need to be original -- that is, it can be a better version of something that already exists (e.g., secure email client). It should be something that you're excited about building and that has a non-trivial need for security.

Also include in your single slide your name, and during your in-class presentation, please be prepared to introduce yourself and mention why you are taking this course.

Your submission should be a 1-slide PowerPoint or similar file. Do not include any animations. We will load each presentation into a single slide deck, and automate timings to flip between presentations during class, to make sure that we remain on time. Each presentation will be given 3 minutes, but you do not need to use all 3 minutes. The final slide deck will be shared with the whole class. If you would like to present more than one idea, you are welcome to do so, but you must still use only one slide, not have animations, and use at most 3 minutes.
