no, because bugs like spectre, air gap hopping malware, cold boot attacks can rely on physical phenomenon

Is CS just applied applied math

Leo Torres
this is not part of CS you brainlet
Dylan Foster
computer security and cryptography are most certainly computer science.
John Parker
How is anything specific to hardware CS and not computer engineering?
The whole point of CS is not to think about anything physical.

Spectre means that many of the approaches to prove the correctness of programs to demonstrate they are secure without considering the real world are moot at this point.

This guy nailed it:

>Langsec: "let's avoid vulnerabilities in the programs we write", this post's title and mood: "there are vulnerabilities elsewhere, langsec is dead". Non sequitur, and such an argument didn't even need Spectre. The post itself doesn't quite say what the title says though, did I get click-bitten?
The fact problems in software can be caused by hardware doesn't mean everyone who programs should have to start learning how to be engineers. That's stupid. We already have engineers, they can work on the hardware themselves. It's not like Spectre rendered the concept of abstract programming obsolete. I still develop software for a living and nobody at my company has told me I need to stop writing code and start learning how to patch mechanical problems yet.

I hate to break it to you user, you got the brainlet

And computer security and cryptography are also a major subject in Computer Engineering.

Jesus, there's no limit to the stupidity of CS majors.

Yes

It's programming with some easy discrete math sprinkled in (read: it's for dummies)
