0353158PattersonThis award supports an international workshop, "The Mathematics of Computer Security," to be held in conjunction with the quadrennial Congress of the African Mathematical Union, in Tunis, Tunisia on August 30-31, 2004. The workshop is being co-organized by the PI and by Jan Persens from the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. A number of leading American researchers in computer security have identified current research issues in information security, information exchange, and information hiding, and will work towards developing collaborative approaches to solving these problems. Computer security issues, in this era when more and more information is developed and maintained in electronic form, have vastly increased in importance, and in order to develop stronger methods, more scholars need to become interested in this field. This research workshop will develop collaborations among the American practitioners in the field, as well as among US researchers and the African scholars who will participate in the workshop.The broader impact of this project will be to deepen and sustain the relationship between US and African mathematicians and computer scientists. A significant number of the US participants are from minority-serving institutions, so it is expected that this activity will bring a broader range of US participants to this field of research.

0353158Patterson该奖项支持将于 2004 年 8 月 30 日至 31 日在突尼斯突尼斯举行的非洲数学联盟四年一度的大会期间举办的国际研讨会“计算机安全的数学”。该研讨会由 PI 和来自南非西开普大学的 Jan Persens 共同组织。美国计算机安全领域的一些领先研究人员已经确定了当前信息安全、信息交换和信息隐藏方面的研究问题，并将致力于开发协作方法来解决这些问题。在这个越来越多的信息以电子形式开发和维护的时代，计算机安全问题的重要性大大增加，为了开发更强大的方法，需要更多的学者对这一领域产生兴趣。该研究研讨会将发展该领域的美国从业者以及参加研讨会的美国研究人员和非洲学者之间的合作。该项目的更广泛影响将是加深和维持美国和非洲数学家和计算机科学家之间的关系。相当多的美国参与者来自少数族裔服务机构，因此预计这项活动将吸引更广泛的美国参与者进入这一研究领域。
