Iowa State University (ISU) promotes education,
research, and outreach in Information Assurance.
Over two dozen faculty members from six academic
departments work together in the Information Assurance
Center to explore the problems of securing information
in application areas ranging from software to networks
to electronic democracy. ISU offers Information
Assurance course concentrations in the home departments
supporting BS, MS, and PhD studies, and a new multidisciplinary
Masters of Science in Information Assurance. Faculty
research interests cover the breadth of Information
Assurance, including intrusion detection, security
of wireless networks, mobile ad-hoc tactical networks,
secure e-commerce, public policy for electronic
democracy, and the development of a curriculum framework
for Information Assurance. The following web sites
provide additional information on our activities
in Information Assurance.
