Abstract

Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important to individuals and society alike. However, due to its theoretical and practical complexity, keeping students interested in the foundations of cybersecurity is a challenge. One way to excite such interest is to tie it to current events, for example elections. Elections are important to both individuals and society, and typically dominate much of the news before and during the election. We are developing a curriculum based on elections and, in particular, an electronic voting protocol. Basing the curriculum on an electronic voting framework allows one to teach critical cybersecurity concepts such as authentication, privacy, secrecy, access control, encryption, and the role of non-technical factors such as policies and laws in cybersecurity, which must include societal and human factors. Student-centered interactions and projects allow them to apply the concepts, thereby reinforcing their learning.
