"The Navy can securely deliver eLearning content to…" — Joshua C. Benson & Brian R. McCarthy (#c393)

Card #c393IR // #c393SynthesisMilitary report

[Why it matters]

At the time, no viable in-policy solution existed anywhere in the Department of the Navy for eLearning on personal devices; the thesis supplied the baseline for secure mobile learning at scale.
