This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Connecticut focused on computer systems security research. Students will participate in research projects that should advance computer security and trustable computing hardware research. Specific activities include collaborative projects in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and Computer Science and Engineering Department, including research in hardware support for computer security, hardware Trojan detection, and IC authentication. A series of training seminars will equip students with knowledge specific to the various research projects as well as general skills required in graduate school. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to participate in the Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust Symposium. This will broaden students' vision by allowing them to witness research projects conducted worldwide. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. Intellectual merit: The intellectual merit of this project lies with the strong research team and the focus on computer systems security, an area of national need and of interest to students. The students will participate in research initiatives that investigate algorithmic techniques, hardware and software design principles, computer architecture, and other aspects of trustable computing systems. A major goal of this project is to introduce such interdisciplinary research work to students in the early stages of their academic careers to spark their interests. At the same time, the research has the potential to contribute to the research core of the computing disciplines.Broader impacts: This project is aimed at preparing undergraduate students for graduate study in a research area of vital national interest. Computer systems are integrated into every part of our national infrastructure - including financial systems, communication systems, transportation, and defense. A primary national need is research and researchers who can address the security of these systems. The research opportunities that this proposal provides will help develop the next generation of researchers investigating these important computer security issues.

这笔资金在康涅狄格大学建立了一个新的本科生研究体验 (REU) 站点，专注于计算机系统安全研究。学生将参与促进计算机安全和可信计算硬件研究的研究项目。具体活动包括电气与计算机工程系和计算机科学与工程系的合作项目，包括计算机安全硬件支持、硬件木马检测和IC认证等方面的研究。 一系列培训研讨会将为学生提供各种研究项目的具体知识以及研究生院所需的一般技能。此外，参与者还将有机会参加面向硬件的安全与信任研讨会。这将让学生见证世界范围内进行的研究项目，从而拓宽学生的视野。该网站由国防部与 NSF REU 计划共同资助。智力优势：该项目的智力优势在于强大的研究团队和对计算机系统安全的关注，这是国家需要和学生感兴趣的领域。学生将参与研究算法技术、硬件和软件设计原理、计算机体系结构以及可信计算系统的其他方面的研究计划。该项目的一个主要目标是在学生学术生涯的早期阶段向他们介绍此类跨学科研究工作，以激发他们的兴趣。同时，该研究有可能为计算学科的研究核心做出贡献。 更广泛的影响：该项目旨在为本科生在具有重要国家利益的研究领域进行研究生学习做好准备。计算机系统已集成到我们国家基础设施的各个部分 - 包括金融系统、通信系统、交通和国防。国家的首要需求是能够解决这些系统安全问题的研究和研究人员。该提案提供的研究机会将有助于培养下一代研究人员研究这些重要的计算机安全问题。
