Over the past couple of weeks, you were asked to write a research paper about an Application Security topic of your choice. The research paper development consisted of: (a) research paper topic (defining the topic of your research), (b) annotated bibliography (finding literature about the topic), (c) draft research paper (producing a draft paper based on the research topic) and (d) final research paper (improving on the draft and writing a final paper). This week you will submit the draft version of your paper, please use the template provided.
