This project aims to build cybersecurity capacity of the United States in pervasive computing. Although significant efforts have been made in addressing the security and privacy issues of pervasive computing in research community, a strategic implementation that promotes workforce development from both academic and experiential learning in cybersecurity education is still lacking in pervasive computing. It is imperative to bring cybersecurity research results into education, cultivate the well prepared cybersecurity workforce, and strengthen the long-term collaboration among academic institutions, industry, and government. The project identifies five major objectives in security and privacy issues of pervasive computing: 1) developing new courses and course modules; 2) constructing hands-on virtual labs; 3) engaging students in research with timely research topics; 4) establishing and strengthening relationships with partners; and 5) developing career interest and professional capabilities in cybersecurity with a focus on women and underrepresented students. Unified under the central theme of security and privacy, the wide coverage of cyberspace facets in pervasive computing will allow students to learn the state-of-the-art research findings, gain hands-on experiences from the most up-to-date software, platforms, and infrastructures, engage in scientific research in their best interests, and obtain a comprehensive in-breadth appreciation of the overall cybersecurity state-of-the-art through the new courses and labs, industry-sponsored capstones, cooperative research projects, cybersecurity student organizations, invited talks, and webinars held by the proposed project.

该项目旨在建立美国在普及计算方面的网络安全能力。尽管研究界在解决普适计算的安全和隐私问题方面做出了重大努力，但在普适计算中仍然缺乏从网络安全教育的学术和体验学习促进劳动力发展的战略实施。必须将网络安全研究成果纳入教育，培养有准备的网络安全人才，加强学术机构，工业和政府之间的长期合作。该项目确定了普及计算安全和隐私问题的五个主要目标：1）开发新课程和课程模块; 2）构建实践虚拟实验室; 3）让学生参与及时研究主题的研究; 4）建立和加强与合作伙伴的关系;以及5）发展网络安全方面的职业兴趣和专业能力，重点是女性和代表性不足的学生。在安全和隐私的中心主题下统一，普适计算中网络空间方面的广泛覆盖将使学生能够学习最先进的研究成果，从最新的软件，平台和基础设施中获得实践经验，从事符合其最佳利益的科学研究，并通过新的课程和实验室，行业赞助的顶点，合作研究项目，网络安全学生组织，邀请会谈，并由拟议的项目举行的网络研讨会。
