TEACHING COMPUTER SECURITY TO UNDERGRADUATES A Hands-On Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Increasing awareness of the vulnerabilities of computer systems has led to the introduction of several programs in computer security. Many of these programs are meant to attract graduate students. Southern Oregon University has recently started a new undergraduate track in computer security and information assurance (CSIA). The curriculum is first of its kind in Oregon to be available at the undergraduate level. The CSIA curriculum is based on a set of core classes from computer science, mathematics, and inter-disciplinary topics. Laboratory and hands-on exercises are used extensively to augment the matter covered in class. This paper describes the laboratory and other hands-on exercises of one course in the CSIA curriculum.
