Abstract

As part of a major redesign of our computer science curriculum we are developing an Information Security option. Our approach highlights the many topics in information security that build upon concepts the students will already have seen in their computer systems courses, especially courses on internet protocols and operating systems. In this paper, we describe this integrated approach to information security and computer systems.
