A Curriculum for Security Assured Information Systems

该项目开发并实施了信息科学(学士、硕士、博士)中的安全保证信息系统(SAIS)课程。和电信学位(理科硕士和博士)由匹兹堡大学提供。该课程在开发、设计和部署安全信息系统方面提供了独特的教育，重点是网络信息系统。目标是培养具有知识的IT专业人员，以应对传统和新兴网络信息系统(例如无线局域网)及其应用和服务带来的特殊安全挑战(例如入侵检测)。SAIS课程包括一套必修课和选修课，以及一门实践/顶峰课程。课程的一个核心组成部分是一套创新的实验室练习和课堂实验，这些实验阐明了理论概念和技术，并为学生提供实践经验。

This project develops and implements a Security Assured Information Systems (SAIS) track in the Information Science (BS, MS, Ph.D.) and Telecommunications degrees (M.S. and Ph.D.) offered by the University of Pittsburgh. This track provides a unique education in the development, design and deployment of secure information systems with an emphasis on networked information systems. The goal is to produce IT professionals with the knowledge to cope with the special security challenges (e.g., intrusion detection) posed by conventional and emerging network information systems (e.g., wireless local area networks) and their applications and services. The SAIS tracks consist of a set of required and elective coursework together with a practicum/capstone course. A core component of the coursework is a set of innovative laboratory exercises and classroom experiments that illustrate theoretical concepts and technologies and provide students hands on experience.
