Security Education and Critical Infrastructures presents the most recent developments in research and practice on teaching information security, and covers topics including:

-Curriculum design; -Laboratory systems and exercises; -Security education program assessment; -Distance learning and web-based teaching of security; -Teaching computer forensics; -Laboratory-based system defense games; -Security education tools; -Education in security policies, management and system certification; -Case studies.

In ways both obvious and obscure, information technology is transforming our daily lives, yet the penetration of information technology into our critical infrastructures is still in its early stages. Security is an enabling technology. If these systems are built to be trusted, so that our privacy is maintained, so that transaction integrity can be relied upon, and so that resources are there when needed, then new paradigms for work and play will emerge. The challenge for educators is to create ways to ensure that those who must construct our enabling technology are equipped with the foundations and knowledge required doing the job. This book presents developments in research and practice on teaching information security, and covers topics including: curriculum design; laboratory systems and exercises; security education programme assessment; distance learning and web-based teaching of security; teaching computer forensics; laboratory-based system defence games; security education tools; and education in security policies, management and system certification. The book includes case studies throughout.The volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the third World Conference on Information Security Education (WISE3). The conference and workshops were sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), organized by IFIP Working Group 11.8, and held in Monterey, California, USA in June 2003.

The purpose of this book is to provide a practical approach to managing security in FPGA designs for researchers and practitioners in the electronic design automation (EDA) and FPGA communities, including corporations, industrial and government research labs, and academics. This book combines theoretical underpinnings with a practical design approach and worked examples for combating real world threats. To address the spectrum of lifecycle and operational threats against FPGA systems, a holistic view of FPGA security is presented, from formal top level speci?cation to low level policy enforcement mechanisms, which integrates recent advances in the ?elds of computer security theory, languages, compilers, and hardware. The net effect is a diverse set of static and runtime techniques that, working in coope- tion, facilitate the composition of robust, dependable, and trustworthy systems using commodity components. We wish to acknowledge the many people who helped us ensure the success of ourworkonrecon?gurablehardwaresecurity.Inparticular,wewishtothankAndrei Paun and Jason Smith of Louisiana Tech University for providing us with a Lin- compatible version of Grail+. We also wish to thank those who gave us comments on drafts of this book, including Marco Platzner of the University of Paderborn, and Ali Irturk and Jason Oberg of the University of California, San Diego.
