Abstract
One of our challenges is deciding how best to address software assurance in our university curricula. One approach is to incorporate software assurance knowledge areas into conventional computing curricula. In this article we discuss the results of a comparison of the Common Body of Knowledge for Secure Software Assurance with traditional computing disciplines. The comparison indicates that software engineering is probably the best fit for such knowledge areas, although there is overlap with other computing curricula as well.
