This project is a collaborative effort involving Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Tennessee State University. The investigators are taking a comprehensive approach to advance smartphone security research and education. The approach includes collaborative virtual lab design and implementation, curriculum development, faculty professional development, and partnership development.The investigators are developing and building a Smartphone Virtual Computing Laboratory (SVCL), which caters to Computer Science, Information Technology, and Computer Engineering undergraduate and graduate students' intellectual curiosity and complements their anecdotal knowledge of mobile and cloud security. The SVCL provides an interactive and collaborative learning experience to students by allowing them to work on interesting and challenging projects derived from current research. With SVCL, students can work together, anytime, anywhere, which, in turn, helps them foster a constant learning habit that will benefit their careers. Using smartphone security as the unifying theme, the investigators are developing hands-on laboratory modules from latest research on smartphone application (app) security, smartphone operating system (OS) security, smartphone cloud security, and smartphone network security. They will also host workshops to disseminate the curriculum materials to faculty at other institutions.Through these efforts, the project aims to expose students to latest research on smartphone and cloud computing security. The project also aims at delivering a repository of teaching/learning materials on smartphone security that allows students to learn, work, and explore together through ubiquitous access to the virtual learning and experimentation environment, SVCL. The background of the institutional collaboration (public, private, and HBCU) brings greater diversity to the pool of student participants.

该项目是涉及印第安纳大学普渡大学印第安纳波利斯，罗切斯特理工学院和田纳西州立大学的合作努力。调查人员正在采用一种全面的方法来推进智能手机安全研究和教育。该方法包括协作虚拟实验室设计和实施，课程开发，教师专业发展以及合作伙伴关系的发展。 SVCL通过允许学生从事当前研究得出的有趣和挑战的项目，为学生提供互动和协作的学习经验。 借助SVCL，学生可以随时随地一起工作，这反过来又可以帮助他们养成不断的学习习惯，从而使他们的职业受益。研究人员将智能手机安全性作为统一主题，正在开发有关智能手机应用程序（APP）安全性，智能手机操作系统（OS）安全性，智能手机云安全性和智能手机网络安全的最新研究的实验室模块。 他们还将举办研讨会，以将课程材料传播给其他机构的教师。通过这些努力，该项目旨在使学生了解有关智能手机和云计算安全性的最新研究。该项目还旨在提供有关智能手机安全的教学/学习材料存储库，该材料使学生能够通过无处不在的虚拟学习和实验环境SVCL学习，工作和探索。机构合作（公共，私人和HBCU）的背景为学生参与者群带来了更大的多样性。
