Abstract
In July 1995 the Erasmus Bureau published a review of university programmes on Information Security followed by a proposal for an Information Security curriculum. These publications represent the first systematic attempt to review the Information Security discipline and to develop a common university program in the arena. The aim of the research presented in this paper is to bring this work one step further by means of surveying and systematising the role of experiments and practical project work in the discipline. We have thus made a world-wide inquiry to gather information on existing experiments. A few of these are presented in some detail, to give the reader a feeling for what is available. Furthermore, on the basis of the replies, we suggest a taxonomy for such experimentation and we classify the existing experiments accordingly.
