Teaching Security Stealthily

Many people and institutions are considering how to make students who aren´t taking computer security classes aware of the issues and make them think about how to improve the state of software and systems. Here four exercises are presented: one from a class introducing non-majors to computers and programming, and three from a beginning programming class for majors. The focus is on introductory classes because they form the basis for students´ computing experiences. Introducing concepts of in formation assurance and computer security early makes the students more aware of these issues.
