Abstract

In this paper we present the context of the work of the Curriculum Committee on IT2005, the IT curriculum volume described in the Overview Draft document of the Joint Task Force for Computing Curriculum 2004. We also provide a brief introduction to the history and work of the Information Assurance Education community. These two perspectives provide the foundation for the main thrust of the paper, which is a description of the Information Assurance and Security (IAS) component of the IT2005 document. Finally, we end the paper with an example of how IAS is being implemented at BYU as a "pervasive theme" that is woven throughout the curriculum and conclude with some observations about the first year's experience.
