This project develops models for information assurance education and outreach that can be disseminated to other institutions. The primary focus areas of this project are a high school outreach program, a multidisciplinary information assurance curriculum, and a community lecture series. The high school outreach program is a four-week summer program for high school students and high school teachers in two aspects of information assurance - introduction to cryptography and explorations in network security and vulnerability analysis. The purpose of the outreach program is to introduce self-exploratory projects to students who have never participated in a research project and to encourage participating teachers to disseminate the ideas back to their classrooms during the school year. This program will help cultivate interest in information assurance.The proposed multidisciplinary information assurance curriculum incorporates computer science, mathematics, political science, criminal justice, and other related fields to build a strong program that addresses both the technical and social aspects of information assurance. Developed in consultation with faculty of the respective departments and with members of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, the intent of the curriculum is to create well-rounded graduates with a broad base of knowledge.The community lecture series addresses the lack of information assurance education channels in the region. The annual free community course provides in-depth exposure to information assurance topics, with culminating lectures featuring regional and national speakers. The proposed activity is a model for community engagement and education which will raise community awareness of information assurance issues.

该项目开发了信息保证教育和外展模型，可以传播给其他机构。该项目的主要重点领域是高中外展计划，多学科信息保证课程，和社区讲座系列。高中外展计划是一个为期四周的暑期计划，高中学生和高中教师在两个方面的信息保证-介绍密码学和探索网络安全和脆弱性分析。外展计划的目的是向从未参加过研究项目的学生介绍自我探索项目，并鼓励参与的教师在学年期间将这些想法传播回教室。该计划将有助于培养对信息保证的兴趣。拟议的多学科信息保证课程将计算机科学，数学，政治学，刑事司法和其他相关领域结合起来，以建立一个强大的计划，解决信息保证的技术和社会方面。 该课程是与各部门的教师以及执法和情报界的成员协商制定的，目的是培养具有广泛知识基础的全面发展的毕业生。社区讲座系列解决了该地区缺乏信息保障教育渠道的问题。年度免费社区课程提供了对信息保证主题的深入了解，并以区域和国家演讲者为特色的讲座达到高潮。拟议的活动是社区参与和教育的典范，将提高社区对信息保证问题的认识。
