Many mobile devices with GPS-positioning capabilities allow users to retrieve and share their geographical coordinates and such geospatial data is critical in many areas including traffic optimization, emergency response, disaster rescue missions or military intelligence. At the same time, there are serious concerns related to the security, privacy and trustworthiness (SPT) of the data since users disclose their coordinates and an adversary could derive sensitive information violating users' privacy, or could change the data leading, for example, to wrong conclusions in a crime investigation. SPT for geospatial data has been a subject of intensive research and its results have been gradually transferred into market products. However, there has been no transition to education and this project intends to build capacity for geospatial SPT education by developing six course modules. They will cover geospatial SPT from several different perspectives, with focus on data management, networking, data mining, and social issues. The modules can be integrated into upper-level high-school, community college, or university courses.The dissemination plan includes workshops, seminars and other outreach activities at high schools, community colleges and universities to increase awareness on geospatial SPT issues and to disseminate project's resources to a broad audience. It is expected that the proposed course modules will be also used in other fields such as law, economics, sociology and other disciplines where mobile technology introduces new opportunities but also considerable challenges. The project intends to reach students from underrepresented groups through collaboration with institutions in the Pathways to Prosperity network.

许多具有 GPS 定位功能的移动设备允许用户检索和共享其地理坐标，此类地理空间数据在交通优化、应急响应、灾难救援任务或军事情报等许多领域至关重要。与此同时，数据的安全性、隐私性和可信性（SPT）也存在严重问题，因为用户泄露了自己的坐标，对手可能会获取侵犯用户隐私的敏感信息，或者可能改变数据，从而导致犯罪调查中得出错误的结论等。地理空间数据的SPT一直是深入研究的课题，其成果已逐渐转化为市场产品。然而，尚未向教育过渡，该项目打算通过开发六个课程模块来建设地理空间 SPT 教育能力。 他们将从几个不同的角度涵盖地理空间 SPT，重点关注数据管理、网络、数据挖掘和社会问题。这些模块可以整合到高年级高中、社区学院或大学课程中。传播计划包括在高中、社区学院和大学举办讲习班、研讨会和其他外展活动，以提高对地理空间 SPT 问题的认识，并向广大受众传播项目资源。预计拟议的课程模块还将用于其他领域，如法律、经济学、社会学和其他学科，移动技术在这些领域带来了新的机遇，但也带来了相当大的挑战。该项目旨在通过与“繁荣之路”网络中的机构合作，覆盖代表性不足群体的学生。
