A Framework for Teaching Information Security Laboratory Projects with Open Source Software
Abstract
Although traditional lecture approach dominates the current teaching of information security, by combining traditional lecture approach with laboratory projects, students become more interested and active in analyzing problems. The security laboratory projects are building on practical and problem solving skills as well as flexible designs and easy implementations of security architecture. This paper discusses a framework for teaching Information Security in Computer Science and Information Systems programs using laboratory projects based on Open Source Software/Free Software (OSS/FS). The freedom to experiment with various OSS/FS products for security laboratory projects stimulates student’s learning and creativity. The framework for security laboratory projects based on use of Open Source Software/Free Software could have a positive impact for many educational institutions that are looking to introduce Information Security Assurance in their education programs.
