EDU: Collaborative: Bolstering Security Education through Transiting Research on Browser Security

Web浏览器是大多数人最常用的应用程序之一，用于执行常见任务，例如购物，社交网络，电子邮件，银行业务，查找方向和在Internet上进行研究。针对浏览器或基于浏览器的应用程序的安全威胁和攻击变得越来越复杂，因为攻击者不断开发创新的方法来利用浏览器和基于浏览器的应用程序的漏洞。不过，研究人员在减轻浏览器风险以保护企业系统和消费者设备方面取得了积极进展。因此，将浏览器安全的研究成果引入教育，并将其整合到现有的IA课程中势在必行。该项目旨在（1）使用浏览器安全的典型主题作为可转移教学对象的基础，包括讲座幻灯片，讲座视频，实践实验室，测验，交互式可视化工具和案例研究，以供许多教育环境采用;（2）将开发的浏览器安全教学对象整合到三个参与机构的现有课程中：锡拉丘兹大学、田纳西大学查塔努加分校和北卡罗来纳州农业和技术州立大学;以及（3）举办教师发展讲习班，传播教学目标，建立机构间的伙伴关系。该项目更广泛的影响包括加强参与机构以及全国各地机构之间的伙伴关系和增强IA课程，并改善少数民族和女性的IA研究和教育机会。

The Web browser is one of the most frequently used application by most people to perform common tasks such as shopping, social networking, emailing, banking, finding directions, and research on the Internet. Security threats and attacks targeting browsers or browser-based applications are becoming sophisticated as attackers are constantly developing innovative ways to exploit vulnerabilities of browsers and browser-based applications. Researchers, though, are making positive progress in mitigating risks from browsers to defend enterprise systems and consumer devices. Therefore, it is imperative to bring research results on browser security into education and integrate them into the existing IA curricula. This project aims to (1) use typical topics in browser security as the basis for transferable teaching objects containing lecture slides, lecture videos, hands-on labs, quizzes, interactive visualization tools, and case studies for adoption in many education settings; (2) integrate the developed teaching objects in browser security into the existing curricula in three participating institutes: Syracuse University, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University; and (3) conduct faculty development workshops to disseminate the teaching objects and build partnerships among institutions. The broader impacts of this project include strengthened partnership and enhanced IA curricula among the participating institutions as well as institutions from across the nation, and improved IA research and education opportunities for minorities and females.
