Formation of CITeR-UA to Add Deception and Credibility Assessment to the Center for Identification Technology Research

亚利桑那大学(UA)正在与西弗吉尼亚大学(WVU)身份识别技术研究中心(CITER)合作，创建第二个专注于欺骗和可信度评估的研究网站。这将通过将教师、行业和政府机构聚集在一起，对检测欺诈、识别构成安全威胁的个人以及开发评估个人可信度的工具感兴趣，来补充该中心在身份识别和身份验证方面的研究，从而加强CITER。早在9/11事件使恐怖主义阴谋和欺骗构成的国家安全威胁得到高度缓解之前，更好地了解欺骗和发现欺骗的迫切需要是无懈可击的。每天对欺诈性商业行为、政治欺诈、电话营销骗局、互联网掠夺和身份盗窃的报道，只会加强对这一关键和多方面主题的协调关注的必要性。然而，目前政府机构之间或学术界几乎没有协调努力来解决与识别欺骗有关的问题。此外，该专题要求采用多学科方法，以便将技术专长与严谨的社会科学研究相结合，以得出解决方案和检测工具。CITER-UA通过召集研究人员和研究生之间的多学科、多机构合作来满足这些需求，他们的技能和兴趣与CITER-WVU的技能和兴趣相交。UA拥有由国防部资助的最先进的用于进行实验的欺骗检测实验室，以及用于捕获、编辑、存储和分析多媒体数据的集成多媒体系统，具备独特的能力来领导这项工作的欺骗和可信度方面。

The University of Arizona (UA) is partnering with the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) at West Virginia University (WVU) to create a second research site that focuses on deception and credibility assessment. This will strengthen CITeR by complementing the center's research on identification and authentication by bringing together faculty, industry, and government agencies with interests in detecting deception, identifying individuals who pose security threats, and developing tools for assessing individual credibility. The urgent need to better understand deception and its detection was unassailable long before 9/11 brought into high relief national security threats posed by terrorist plots and deceptions. The daily reporting of fraudulent business practices, political chicanery, telemarketing scams, internet predation, and identity theft has only served to reinforce the need for concerted attention to this critical and multifaceted topic. Yet at present there is little coordination of effort among government agencies or in the academic community to address issues related to identification of deception. Moreover, the topic begs for a multidisciplinary approach, so that technical expertise can be integrated with rigorous social science research to derive solutions and detection tools. CITeR-UA addresses these needs by assembling a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional collaboration among researchers and graduate students whose skills and interests intersect with those at CITeR-WVU. UA is uniquely equipped to lead the deception and credibility aspect of this effort with its state-of-the-art DOD-funded Deception Detection Laboratory for conducting experiments and its Integrated Multimedia System with terabyte server for capturing, editing, storing, and analyzing multimedia data.
