This project develops a portable computer security laboratory that may be used in a wide range of computer security and information assurance (CSIA) courses at multiple institutions. A suite of hands-on exercises and case studies dedicated to computer security and information assurance education is developed for use in conjunction with this laboratory. The exercises cover numerous aspects of computer security and information assurance including risk assessment, security policy, firewalls, intrusion detection, secure protocols, and public key infrastructure. In addition to specifying, building, and testing the laboratory, the project develops and tests educational modules that use the laboratory in actual courses at multiple institutions. These modules have instructor and student guides, are usable in multiple courses, and fully integrate classroom material with hands-on exercises in the laboratory. The modules emphasize the importance of the proper, ethical use of the tools and provide ample controls to prevent the laboratory from being used in an unauthorized manner or to launch attacks over the Internet. This project is multidisciplinary, integrating material from computer science, management, law, and other areas important to CSIA. The project team from three universities has well over fifty years of combined experience in research and in teaching in this area. The project creatively uses the existing infrastructure of a regional consortium of universities that already has easy cross-enrollment to leverage new course development and make CSIA knowledge much more accessible at all three institutions. The George Washington University in this project forms a partnership with two local universities with long histories of serving traditionally underrepresented groups. Gallaudet University is the world's only university that brings together deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students and faculty in the common pursuit of education.Marymount University, until 1986 a women's college, is now a coeducational liberal arts institution in which women make up 70% of its students.

该项目开发了一个便携式计算机安全实验室，可用于多个机构的广泛计算机安全和信息保证（CSIA）课程。一套动手练习和案例研究，致力于计算机安全和信息保障教育的开发与本实验室一起使用。演习涵盖计算机安全和信息保证的许多方面，包括风险评估、安全政策、防火墙、入侵检测、安全协议和公钥基础设施。除了指定，建设和测试实验室，该项目还开发和测试在多个机构的实际课程中使用实验室的教育模块。这些模块有教师和学生指南，可用于多门课程，并将课堂材料与实验室中的动手练习完全结合起来。这些模块强调了正确、道德地使用这些工具的重要性，并提供了充分的控制措施，以防止实验室被以未经授权的方式使用或通过互联网发动攻击。该项目是多学科的，整合了计算机科学，管理，法律和其他领域的重要CSIA的材料。来自三所大学的项目团队在这一领域的研究和教学方面拥有超过50年的综合经验。该项目创造性地利用了一个区域大学联盟的现有基础设施，该联盟已经很容易交叉注册，以利用新课程的开发，并使CSIA知识在所有三个机构更容易获得。在这个项目中，乔治华盛顿大学与两所当地大学结成伙伴关系，这两所大学长期以来一直为传统上代表性不足的群体提供服务。Gallaudet University是世界上唯一一所将聋人、重听人和听力正常的学生和教师聚集在一起共同追求教育的大学。Marymount University在1986年之前是一所女子学院，现在是一所男女同校的文科院校，其中女性占学生总数的70%。
