U.S.-Hungary Computer Network Research on Anonymous Accountable Self Organizing Cooperation

美国的目标是-南卡罗来纳州大学哥伦比亚分校的Csilla Farkas和布达佩斯Eotvos Lorand大学的Andras Lorincz之间的匈牙利合作研究项目旨在加强安全网络社区模型所需的理论基础，该模型将是自组织的，并支持发起者和响应者的匿名性。联合研究计划要求开发一个支持协作的系统架构，同时保证信息的机密性、完整性、可用性和不可否认性。为了实现这一目标，由美国高级和初级研究人员与匈牙利同行组成的团队将尝试整合现有的域系统，形成一个能够在单一动态环境中支持安全性、匿名性和问责制的完整模型：1）具有相关的安全概念，2）符合通信协议，3）自组织机制。 它们的集成模型将基于XML、RDF和RBAC（可扩展标记语言、资源定义框架和基于角色的访问控制）。成功将提高用户加入在线社区和参与电子社会的能力，同时保持与个人姓名相关的受保护的身份或声誉。 这一领域的进展可导致因特网使用的更完善的模式，并开发旨在保障因特网用户个人隐私的原型软件。 这个计算机科学项目通过使美国和中欧的专家能够联合收割机互补人才并在相互感兴趣和有能力的领域共享研究资源来实现推进科学知识的计划目标。更广泛的影响包括通过在合作机构工作将美国学生介绍给国际研究界，并直接参与项目的先进系统测试和验证技术。

The goal of this U.S.-Hungarian cooperative research project between Csilla Farkas of University of South Carolina Columbia and Andras Lorincz of the Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, is to strengthen the theoretical foundation required for a secure web community model that would be self-organizing and support anonymity of the initiator and responder. The joint research plan calls for developing a system architecture that supports collaboration while guaranteeing information confidentiality, integrity, availability and non-repudiation.To achieve this, the team of senior and junior U.S. researchers with Hungarian counterparts will attempt to integrate existing domain systems to form a complete model capable of supporting security, anonymity and accountability in a single dynamic environment: 1) with relevant security concepts, 2) conforming communication protocols and 3) self-organizing mechanisms. Their integrated model will be based on XML, RDF, and RBAC (Extensible Markup Language; Resource Definition Framework, and Role-based Access Control). Success would enhance users' ability to join online communities and participate in electronic societies while maintaining protected identities or reputations associated with personal pseudonyms. Progress in this area could lead to a refined paradigm for Internet usage and the development of prototype software designed to guarantee personal privacy for Internet users. This project in computer science fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. Broader impacts include the introduction of U.S. students to the international research community through work at the partner institution and direct involvement in the project's advanced system testing and validation techniques.
