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.

这笔资金为康涅狄格大学的本科生（REU）网站建立了新的研究经验，该研究专注于计算机系统安全研究。学生将参与应该提高计算机安全和可信赖计算硬件研究的研究项目。特定的活动包括电气和计算机工程部门以及计算机科学和工程部门的协作项目，包括针对计算机安全性，硬件Trojan检测和IC身份验证的硬件支持研究。 一系列的培训研讨会将使学生获得特定于各种研究项目的知识以及研究生院所需的一般技能。此外，参与者将有机会参加面向硬件的安全性和信任研讨会。这将通过允许学生见证全球进行的研究项目来扩大愿景。该站点由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。知识分子的优点：该项目的智力优点在于强大的研究团队以及专注于计算机系统安全，这是国家需求和学生感兴趣的领域。学生将参加研究算法技术，硬件和软件设计原理，计算机架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术职业的早期阶段向学生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。Broader的影响：该项目旨在为本科生准备在重要的国家利益的研究领域的研究生学习。计算机系统都集成到我们国家基础设施的每个部分中，包括金融系统，通信系统，运输和国防。主要的国家需求是研究人员，可以解决这些系统的安全性。该提案提供的研究机会将有助于发展下一代研究人员研究这些重要的计算机安全问题。
