Organization of Grand Challenges in Cyber Security

国家科学基金会CISE/CNS表格7评审分析和建议编号：0939188小组：N/API：Giovanni Vigna机构：加州大学？Santa Barbara标题： 组织网络安全的重大挑战 提案摘要和智力优势：受到DARPA城市挑战赛的启发，PI提出在计算机安全方面进行一场盛大的挑战赛。 . DARPA报告了其竞争的非常积极的结果，其中开发全自动汽车的团队，通过传感和人工智能的新方法实现自动化，争夺奖品和荣誉。 安全挑战，本提案的重点，将与USENIX安全，2009年一起运行。 对于一个团队必须保护自己免受攻击的安全挑战来说，特别具有挑战性的是需要一套明确的、指定的规则，这些规则明确地定义了成功和选择赢家的标准。 对于这个挑战，参与团队的任务是构建一个系统，使所提供的服务器能够自我防御和抵御攻击。在比赛期间，自动评分系统将记录仍然有效的服务。 与此同时，一个自动化的攻击系统将对服务进行破坏性攻击。奖品由私人公司提供，将颁发给服务器提供最高服务水平但高于最低阈值的团队。PI与Nicholas Weaver（ICSI）和Anup Ghosh（GMU）一起创建了运行比赛所需的基础设施，包括攻击和评分系统。申请的资金将用于报销研究生和本科生参加比赛的费用。研讨会将于2009年8月12日至13日在蒙特利尔举行。

National Science Foundation CISE/CNSForm 7 Review Analysis and RecommendationProposal Number: 0939188Panel: N/API: Giovanni VignaInstitution: University of California ? Santa BarbaraTitle: Organization of Grand Challenges in Cyber Security Proposal summary and intellectual merit: Inspired by the DARPA Urban Challenge, the PI offers to run a grand challenge competition in computer security. . DARPA reports very positive results from its competition wherein teams who developed fully automated automobiles, the automation attained by new methods in sensing and artificial intelligence, competed for prizes and glory. The security challenge, the focus of this proposal, is to be run in conjunction with USENIX Security, 2009. Particularly challenging for a security challenge wherein a team has to defend itself against attacks, is the need for a clear, well-specified set of rules which unambiguously define criteria for success and for choosing a winner. For this challenge, the task of the participant teams is to build a system such that the provided servers are self-defending and resilient against attacks. During the competition an automated scoring system will record the services that remain functional. At the same time, an automated attack system will perform disruptive attacks against the services.Prizes, provided by private companies, will be awarded to the teams whose servers provide the highest service level but also above a minimal threshold.Together with Nicholas Weaver (ICSI) and Anup Ghosh (GMU), the PI has created the infrastructure required to run the competition, including the attacking and scoring systems. The funds requested would be used to reimburse the expenses of graduate and undergraduate students participating in the competition. The workshop is to take place on August 12-13, 2009 in Montreal.
