TC: A U.S.-France Collaborative Symposium of Young Engineering Scientists (YESS 2009)

法国政府和国家科学基金会每年在法国大使馆联合举办研讨会，将两国的年轻研究人员聚集在一起，讨论当前重要的主题，并涉及科学挑战。 2009年的主题是数字身份管理，这是可信计算计划的一个重要子主题。的重点领域？基本面？。 通过将这些年轻科学家聚集在一起，预计将通过将研究人员聚集在一起研究从考虑两国之间的文化差异中受益的问题来推进该领域（与隐私问题研究的情况一样），正在考虑对身份管理的非常广泛的看法，包括生物鉴别和其他认证方法，取证，以确定是否发生了事后的身份验证违规，加密和其他方法，以实现匿名，和指标，以确定方法的有效性单独和组合。PI创建了一个程序，包括邀请会谈，由年轻的调查人员，政府研究机构的会谈，宣布两国的重要研究领域，以及小组讨论。 申请的资金将用于偿还研究生和本科生的费用。研讨会将于2009年7月7日至10日在华盛顿举行。 我们的系统正在遭受越来越多来自各种攻击者的攻击：地下犯罪分子、民族国家、恐怖分子等。了解系统上的人员对于阻止攻击以及在面临攻击时实现问责制至关重要。

In what has become an annual event, the French Government and The National Science Foundation jointly sponsor symposia, at the French Embassy, that bring together young investigators from both countries on a topic of current importance and that involves scientific challenges. For 2009, the topic was digital identity management, an important subtopic under the Trustworthy Computing Program?s emphasis area on ?fundamentals?. In bringing together these young scientists, it is anticipated that the field will be advanced by getting researchers together on problems that benefit from consideration of culture differences between the two countries (as is the case with the study of privacy issues), A very broad view of identity management is being considered, including biometrics and other methods for authentication, forensics to determine if after-the-fact an authentication violation took place, cryptographic and other methods to achieve anonymity, and metrics to determine the effectiveness of methods individually and in combination.The PI created a program that consists of invited talks, talks by young investigators, talks by Government research agencies in which important research areas for both countries are declared, and panels. The funds requested would be used to reimburse the expenses of graduate and undergraduate students. The workshop is to take place on July 7-10, 2009 in Washington, DC. Our systems are experiencing an increasing number of attacks from all kinds of attackers: underground criminals, nation states, terrorists, etc. Knowing who is on your system is vital to discouraging attacks but also to achieve accountability in the face of an attack.
