| Description: |
The wide availability of powerful encryption software has made evidence gathering a significant challenge for investigators. Criminals can use the software to scramble evidence of their activities so thoroughly that even the most powerful supercomputers in the world would never be able to break into their codes. But the U.S. Secret Service believes that combining computing power with gumshoe detective skills can help crack criminals' encrypted data caches. |

| Description: |
State education officials see an opportunity to prepare students for the thousands of jobs focused on national security and weapons research that are expected to come to Maryland in a nationwide consolidation of military bases. The Harford County school system plans to open in fall of 2007 the nation's first magnet program focused on homeland security, preparing high school students for careers in disaster response, high-level computer science and law enforcement. The new program also aims to feed students into area universities, which have been rapidly developing similar programs in advanced security since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. |

| Description: |
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago has launched a program to provide free legal assistance for people in filing pro se federal lawsuits. Known as the District Court Self-Help Assistance Desk, litigants use a special computer terminal in the federal courthouse to access the legal aid web site. A program on the computer walks you through a series of questions and if the help-desk lawyer thinks there is a valid case, he or she will help prepare the complaint and related papers and filings. |

| Description: |
28 students with exceptional skills in math, science, and technology participated in a residential high school cyber-security camp in New York state. The thinking behind the week-long program, held for the first time in April (2005), is that 80 percent of computer hackers are believed to be under 18--so high school is the perfect time to recruit them to the security side. The camp was a collaboration of the State University of New York at Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC), the Griffiss Institute for Information Assurance, and the Cyber Operations Branch of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. |

| Description: |
At the Center for the Advancement of Distance Education (CADE) at the University of Illinois at Chicago, researchers are helping the CDC to develop an emergency alert system that would rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS) features built into many of today's mobile handsets. In areas hit with an outbreak, people who carry GPS-enabled mobile phones and are subscribed to the alert service would receive an emergency alert text message with instructions about where to go or what to do during specific emergencies, such as an outbreak of anthrax or bird flu. |

| Description: |
Most students are not taught how to critically evaluate information found on the Internet. The ability to read, understand, and decipher online material requires a unique skill set—qualities many of today's students have yet to grasp, according to researchers at the University of Connecticut and Clemson University, who with funds from the U.S. Department of Education, are creating a custom built model to help students acquire the kinds of higher-level comprehension skills necessary to navigate today's digital landscape. |
