U.S.-Venezuela Planning Visit: Security and Integrity of Web-Based Information, with Emphasis on Watermarking

该计划访问奖由国际科学与工程办公室美洲计划支持，允许休斯顿大学的Ernst L.Leiss博士与洛杉矶安第斯大学的Jose L.Aquilar博士合作，计划一个关于网络信息安全和完整性的联合项目，重点是水印。莱斯博士和阿吉拉尔博士都致力于并行计算和互联网的各个方面。他们现在准备应对互联网安全问题，特别是数字水印的使用。通过这些访问，PI可以决定如何将他们的对话和过去的经验带到完整研究项目的下一步。访问的一个主要目的是确定将参与该项目的学生。为学生提供国际研究体验是美洲项目的主要目标之一。

This planning-visit award supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering allows Dr. Ernst L. Leiss, University of Houston, to work with Dr. Jose L. Aquilar at the Universidad de los Andes to plan a joint project on security and integrity of web-based information, with emphasis on watermarking. Both Dr. Leiss and Dr. Aguilar have worked on parallel computing and on various aspects of the Internet. They are now poised to take on the problem of internet security, specifically the use of digital watermarking. With these visits the PIs can decide how to take their conversations and past experiences to the next step of a full research project. One major purpose of the visits is to identify students who will work on the project. Providing students with an international research experience is one of the key objectives of the Americas Program.
