Abstract
The Center for the Information Systems Studies and Research (CISR) at the Naval Postgraduate School has established a broad program in computer and network security education. The program, founded on a core in traditional computer science, is extended by a progression of specialized courses and a broad set of information assurance research projects. A CISR objective has been improvement of information assurance education and training for the U.S. military and government. Pursuant to that objective, CISR is developing a computer simulation game, CyberCIEGE, to teach computer security principles. CyberCIEGE players construct computer networks and make choices affecting the ability of these networks and the game�s virtual users to protect valuable assets from attack by both vandals and well motivated professionals [1]. CyberCIEGE includes a language for expressing different security related scenarios. A central part of this language is an ability to express a variety of different information security policies.
