Abstract

Information security has emerged as one of the most important subjects of information system (MIS) majors. This paper describes the use of a message encryption project based on Microsoft Active Pages (ASP) that encourages MIS students to explore some of the technical aspects of information security in some depth. This project served as a valuable pedagogical tool. Students having only limited programming and database experience benefited significantly from this course.
