SGER: Secure Sharing of Information for Distance Collaboration

NSF 0530210远程协作的信息安全共享PI：Jyh-Charn Liu这项研究将开发跨越美墨边境的安全信息共享解决方案。TAMU及其墨西哥合作伙伴CINVESTAV(IPN)的共同目标是创建一个分布式管理框架，该框架将支持安全高效的信息交换，而不会影响他们自己的策略、工作流程和系统管理。该联合项目的共同目标包括提供(1)交易的不可否认性，(2)数据访问和系统管理的共享控制，(3)无处不在的可访问性和(4)软件风险建模。TAMU团队将专注于前两个问题，CINVESTAV(IPN)团队将专注于后两个问题。根据需要，当用户访问共享信息时，两个系统都将遵循联合控制程序、证据收集流程和联合审计，以防止单一权限滥用。该项目的意义包括(1)关键信息的非侵入性但安全的共享，(2)防止单点滥用管理权限，(3)分布式信息系统的双赢管理方案。该项目对跨越美墨边境的科学和实际问题都有更广泛的影响。它将增进影响美国和墨西哥的技术和社会问题的基本知识，还将让学生接触墨西哥的合作伙伴，同时解决具有挑战性的技术问题。该项目由NSF/CEISE网络信托计划资助，并得到了NSF国际科学与工程办公室的大力支持，我们对此表示感谢。

NSF 0530210Secure Sharing of Information for Distance CollaborationPI: Jyh-Charn LiuThis research will develop secure information sharing solutions across the US-Mexico border. The common objective of TAMU and its Mexican partner, CINVESTAV(IPN), is to create a distributed management framework that will support secure and efficient information exchanges, without compromising their own policies, workflow, and system management. The common goals in this joint project include providing (1)non-repudiation of transactions, (2)shared control of data access and system administration, (3)ubiquitous accessibility and (4)software risk modeling. The TAMU team will focus on the first two issues, and the CINVESTAV(IPN) team will focus on the later two issues. As needed, when a user accesses shared information, both systems will follow joint control procedures, their evidence gathering process, and joint auditing to prevent single authority abuse. The significance of this project includes (1)non-invasive yet secure sharing of critical information, (2)prevention of single point abuse of management privileges, and (3)win-win management schemes of distributed information systems. This project has broader impacts on both scientific and practical issues across the US-Mexico border. It will advance the basic knowledge on technical and social issues affecting both US and Mexico, and it will also expose students to Mexican partners, while solving challenging technical problems. This project is funded by the NSF/CISE Cyber Trust program with significant support from NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering, whose contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
