https://xkcd.com/2385/   Profs. Michael L. Nelson , Michele C. Weigle , and Jian Wu have been awarded a $10,000 COVA CCI Academic Curriculum Development Grant ( RFP COVACCI-21-05 ) with their proposal "Web Science and Web Security".  The deliverables of this project will include preparing and packaging for use outside of ODU four existing Web Science and Digital Libraries (WS-DL) Research Group courses that involve Web Security. Recently, WS-DL’s research and course offerings have moved toward the intersection of the web and security. In the process of developing and delivering our courses, it has become clear that we needed to offer a 400/500 level course focused on web client security .  Given the central role that the web plays in our daily commerce, education, and entertainment, we should be doing a better job producing BS and MS students with expertise in securing web applications. While web security is a significant portion of cybersecurity, it is often overlo...
