EAGER: Collaborative Research: S^2 Lab: Educational Platform and Resource for Smartphone Security

尽管智能手机市场近年来发展迅速，但教育主要仍停留在传统计算机设计领域，即使涉及到安全问题。阻碍智能手机安全在教育领域采用的关键因素之一是缺乏适当的平台和教育资源。一种选择是使用模拟器，但模拟器对蓝牙、USB、外设、网络连接状态、电池充电水平和交流充电状态没有很好的支持；其中许多可以作为实验室练习的组成部分。该项目的目标是开发一个智能手机安全教育框架，并将一些与智能手机领域安全问题相关的新兴研究领域过渡到教育领域。该项目将开发智能手机安全教育平台；开发平台支持的样本教育资源（实验室）；评估开发的平台和资源在促进智能手机安全教育领域体验式学习方面的效果。提议的平台将是一个软硬件集成系统，使学生能够远程连接到平台，选择平台支持的智能手机安全实验室练习，并通过在真实的智能手机设备上执行实验室活动来学习。该项目将使其他高等教育机构能够利用该平台和资源进行智能手机安全教育。项目成果将通过nsf资助的SEED实验室进行传播。

Although the smartphone market has grown rapidly in recent years, education remains mostly in the realm of traditional computer designs, even when it comes to security. One of the crucial factors hindering the adoption of smartphone security in the educational domain is the lack of appropriate platform and educational resources. One option is to use an emulator but emulators have no good support for Bluetooth, USB, peripherals, network connected state, battery charge level, and AC charging state; many of which could be integral components of lab exercises. The goal of this project is to develop a smartphone security education framework and to transition to education some of the emerging research areas related to security issues in the smartphone domain.The project will develop a smartphone security education platform; develop sample educational resources (labs) that can be supported by the platform; and evaluate the efficacy of the developed platform and resources in promoting experiential learning in the domain of smartphone security education. The proposed platform will be a hardware-software integrated system that will enable students to remotely connect to the platform, choose a smartphone security lab exercise supported by the platform and learn by performing the lab activities on real smartphone devices. This project will enable other institutions of higher education to utilize the platform and resources for smartphone security education. The project outcomes will be disseminated via the NSF-funded SEED labs.
