While the computing landscape is currently moving towards mobile computing, the security threats to mobile devices are also growing explosively. The prevalence of mobile devices and the significant increase of threats to their security has not been accompanied by sufficient related educational activities. Though the demand for incorporating mobile security into computing security education is on the increase nationwide, very few courses have been initiated for teaching mobile security, and there is a dearth of well-prepared available learning material providing hands-on experience. To address these national needs, this project is producing innovative mobile security labware to promote the exposure of students to these concerns and to provide them with hands-on real world relevant mobile threat analysis and protection solutions. The labware helps students to know how a mobile threat and its corresponding protections go into effect. The students experience mobile security knowledge with mobile devices and implement protection apps that are workable in practice. The broader impacts of this project are on the improvements of student learning, educational resources, faculty collaboration and development at three academic institutions in the three states Ohio, Georgia and Tennessee, and the influence on faculties in other institutions. The labware can be integrated into many computer and information security courses and will be made public and disseminated in academic community nationwide to benefit a wide range of universities and colleges that have the need for mobile security education.

虽然计算领域目前正在向移动计算方向发展，但移动设备面临的安全威胁也呈爆炸式增长。移动设备的普及及其安全威胁的显著增加并没有伴随足够的相关教育活动。尽管将移动安全纳入计算安全教育的需求在全国范围内不断增加，但很少有课程开始教授移动安全，而且缺乏精心准备的可用学习材料提供实践经验。为了满足这些国家的需求，该项目正在生产创新的移动安全实验室软件，以促进学生对这些问题的了解，并为他们提供与现实世界相关的移动威胁分析和保护解决方案。该实验室软件帮助学生了解移动威胁及其相应的保护措施是如何生效的。学生通过移动设备体验移动安全知识，并实现在实践中可行的保护应用程序。该项目的更广泛影响是在俄亥俄州、佐治亚州和田纳西州三个州的三所学术机构改善学生学习、教育资源、教师合作和发展，并对其他机构的教师产生影响。该实验室软件可以集成到许多计算机和信息安全课程中，并将在全国学术界公开和传播，使有移动安全教育需求的大学和学院广泛受益。
