This project is building our nation's capacity to develop a workforce well trained in computer security. Faculty from the University of Houston, University of Houston-Downtown and Texas Southern University, are developing interactive courseware and conducting workshops on the latest machine learning, data mining, natural language processing and statistics techniques as applied to computer security. Courseware on security-critical domains such as wireless sensor networks, and on key societal privacy and security concerns is also being developed. Workshops are being organized to cross-fertilize security curricula with related fields and topics and to develop a broad-based consensus on courseware contents. In addition to interactive courseware for security courses, materials are being developed to infuse security topics and increase awareness of information assurance in the broader computer science curriculum and, beyond computer science, in other STEM disciplines. A hypertextbook integrating the courseware is being implemented.Through faculty workshops, a community of information assurance education and research scholars is being created. This community will build bridges between information assurance professionals and professionals in related fields. The workshops are training diverse groups of faculty from different types of institutions. Courseware and other results are available in the National Science Digital Library as well as at a project-specific web site which also links to exemplary courseware developed elsewhere. Courseware and workshops are being rigorously evaluated.

该项目正在建设我国培养一支训练有素的计算机安全工作队伍的能力。 来自休斯顿大学，休斯顿市中心大学和得克萨斯南方大学的教师正在开发交互式课件，并就应用于计算机安全的最新机器学习，数据挖掘，自然语言处理和统计技术举办研讨会。 关于安全关键领域（如无线传感器网络）以及关键社会隐私和安全问题的课程也在开发中。目前正在举办讲习班，使安全课程与相关领域和专题相互交流，并就课件内容达成广泛共识。 除了用于安全课程的交互式课件外，正在开发材料，以在更广泛的计算机科学课程以及计算机科学之外的其他STEM学科中融入安全主题并提高对信息保障的认识。 目前正在实施一个整合了课件的超级教科书，并通过教师讲习班，创建了一个信息保障教育和研究学者社区。 该社区将在信息保障专业人员和相关领域的专业人员之间建立桥梁。这些讲习班正在培训来自不同类型机构的各类教员。 课程和其他成果可在国家科学数字图书馆以及一个项目特定的网站上获得，该网站还链接到其他地方开发的示范性课件。 正在对课程和讲习班进行严格评估。
