Research Paper Assignment - The need for Cryptography in application security.

Students should be divided into groups prior to the residency session. Each group will submit a research paper and a presentation through iLearn (using SafeAssign). These should be submitted before students depart from the residency session. 

Papers are typically 10 pages of original content (not included title page, TOC page, and the references page) and presentation times vary on class (typically 10 - 15 minutes). Each group member should participate in both portions of the assignment. I expect an additional 2-3 pages for figures, tables, and references.  Thus, total is 12-13 pages APA format.

Be sure to review with students that APA format is REQUIRED.

Abstract

Examined are the three core themes: the role of education in cybersecurity, the role of technology in cybersecurity, and the role of policy in cybersecurity. These topics are essential for organizations seeking to establish environments that allow them to be successful irregardless of location while examining external and internal conditions. This study examined the research gaps within cybersecurity as it relates to core themes to develop stronger policies, education programs, and hardened technologies for cybersecurity use. This work illustrates how cybersecurity can be broken into these three core areas and used together to address issues such as developing training environments for teaching real cybersecurity events. It will further show the correlations between technologies and policies for system Certification and Accreditation. Finally, it will offer insights on how cybersecurity can be used to maintain wirelessly security for international and national security for global organizations.

Presentation:

The presentation should be (10-15 slides). Each group should present their presentation in class. The presentation time may vary on class (typically 10-15 minutes).
