CRCD: A Cryptography Center for Research and Education

0088063波士顿，尼日利亚伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校CRCD：密码学研究和教育中心这个项目与密码学领域有关。这所大学正在建立伊利诺伊州密码学和信息保护中心(ICCIP)，这是一个多学科中心，专注于影响信息保护和受信息保护技术影响的领域的研究和教育。这一CRCD项目为中心的教育和课程方面奠定了基础。由高年级本科生和研究生(来自工程、计算机科学和数学)组成的多学科小组被组织成小组，解决现代密码学中的问题。该项目还涉及密码学相关课程的开发，这些课程交叉列出了数学、工程和计算机科学。该项目涉及行业合作伙伴，他们贡献实际问题并与团队互动。行业、政府和学术界需要具有广泛技能的员工，这些员工可以在跨学科/多学科团队中在该领域工作。例如，对当前密码系统的攻击可以是复杂的数学攻击，也可以是直接的物理攻击。要反击这种攻击，需要拥有不同数学、工程和计算专业知识的团队成员共同努力。创建新的信息保护计划也是如此。计算和工程从业者在实施信息保护的数学解决方案时面临电路、软件和设备的物理限制。这门课程培养了具有广泛背景和经验的个人，他们在密码学中的现实问题上进行团队合作，并创造新的合作，以比历史上更快的速度推进技术发展。

0088063Boston, NigelUniversity of Illinois at UrbanaCRCD: A Cryptography Center for Research and EducationThis project is concerned with the field of cryptography. This university is establishing the Illinois Center for Cryptography and Information Protection (ICCIP), a multidisciplinary center focused on research and education in fields that influence information protection and are influenced by information protection techniques. This CRCD project lays the groundwork for the educational and curricular aspects of the center. Multidisciplinary groups of upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students (from engineering, computer science and mathematics) are organized into teams attacking problems in modern cryptography. This project also addresses the development of cryptography related courses that are cross-listed in mathematics, engineering, and computer science. The project involves industrial partners who contribute practical problems and interact with teams. Industry, government, and academe need employees with a broad range of skills who can work in this field in inter/multidisciplinary teams. For example, attacks on current crypto-systems can be sophisticated mathematical ones or direct physical ones. To counter such attacks takes concerted efforts from team members having different expertise in mathematics, engineering, and computing. The same holds true for the creation of new information protection schemes. Computing and engineering practitioners are faced with physical limitations of circuits, software, and devices in implementing mathematical solutions to information protection. This curriculum produces individuals with broad backgrounds and experience in working in teams on realistic problems in cryptography and the creation of novel collaborations that will advance technological developments much quicker than has historically been the case.
