REU Site: Research on Security of Mobile Devices and Wireless Networks at New York Institute of Technology

该奖项在纽约理工学院（NYIT）建立了一个新的REU网站，专注于移动的设备的安全性。本科生将获得在移动的设备上模拟恶意软件传播的实践研究经验，实施加密算法和身份验证方案，研究无线网络的拓扑控制，地理定位智能手机，检测移动的设备网络上的物理攻击，以及使用移动的设备开发隐私保护传感方法。学生将在夏季与NYIT校园实验室的经验丰富的教师团队一起工作。 该项目包括学生的专业发展活动和与行业的接触。 该项目由网络基础设施办公室共同资助。智力价值：该项目的智力价值集中在及时和国家关注的研究课题上。 学生将与经验丰富的研究人员在国家的最先进的实验室的主题是当前和相关的网络信任研究社区。这些研究经验旨在为本科生成为研究人员奠定坚实的背景，并激励他们继续攻读计算机科学与工程的研究生课程。更广泛的影响：该项目将在高需求的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域提供实践研究经验。项目团队致力于为这些研究机会招募女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生，并保留他们与STEM相关的学术和专业能力。参与者将与教师，研究生和其他本科生在由不同种族背景的个人组成的研究团队合作。因此，该项目有可能产生新的计算机科学研究生和教师，并在促进学习的同时推进发现和理解。

The award establishes a new REU Site focused on the security of mobile devices at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). Undergraduates will gain hands-on research experiences in simulating the spread of malware on mobile devices, implementing cryptographic algorithms and authentication schemes studying topology control of wireless networks, geolocating smartphones, detecting physical attacks on a network of mobile devices, and developing privacy protected sensing methods using mobile devices. Students will work during the summer with a team of experienced faculty in labs on the NYIT campus. The project includes professional development activities for students and engagement with industry. This project is co-funded by the Office of Cyberinfrastructure.Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of the project is focused on the research topic which is timely and of national concern. The students will work with a team of experienced researchers in state-of-the art labs on topics that are current and relevant to the cyber trust research community. These research experiences are aimed at building a strong background for undergraduates to become researchers and motivate them to pursue graduate studies in computer science and engineering.Broader Impacts: This project will provide hands-on research experiences in a high-demand science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field. The project team is committed to recruiting women and underrepresented minority students for these research opportunities and to retaining them in academic and professional capacities related to STEM. Participants will collaborate with faculty, graduate students and fellow undergraduates in research teams comprised of individuals of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.
