Naval Postgraduate School Center for Infosec Studies and Research: Teaching the Science of Computer Security (U)

Abstract

(U) The Naval Postgraduate School Center for Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Studies and Research (NPS CISR) is developing a comprehensive program in INFOSEC education and research that can become a resource for DoN/DoD and U.S Government in terms of educational materials and research. A security track within the Computer Science curriculum has been established. Its philosophical core is the abstract notion of conceptually complete security mechanism, the Reference Monitor Concept. Building upon a core curriculum of computer science and engineering, the security courses convey vital concepts and techniques associated with INFOSEC today.
