I/UCRC FRP: Collaborative Research: Enabling Biometrics Research in the Cloud--Design and Demonstration

项目主任建议身份识别技术研究中心(CITER)提案#1332046、1332118、1331395该提案寻求为位于克拉克森大学、西弗吉尼亚大学和亚利桑那大学的身份识别技术研究中心(CITER)提供资金。基础研究的资金申请是由NSF批准的申请授权的，NSF 11-570。征集邀请研究所/大学合作研究中心提交支持行业定义的基础研究的建议。在这份基础研究提案中，PI将探索将生物识别应用迁移到云计算环境中。PIS将利用参与大学现有的云硬件和软件基础设施，设计和演示一个多大学、多领域、多数据集的虚拟生物识别云-BioCloud。PIS计划分析访问控制、隐私保护和数据共享政策和技术。选定的解决方案将用于开发BioCloud原型，该原型将支持生物识别软件(身份识别)即服务(B-SaaS)、生物识别数据即服务(B-DaaS)和生物识别平台即服务(B-PaaS)。在这项拟议的工作中，私人投资司将制定身份管理应用程序中必须处理的要求、未来和限制条件目录。在无处不在的下一代政府和商业身份管理云应用程序中保护个人身份信息的可验证保护政策和技术是改善公众信任的先决条件，这反过来又允许可持续地保护安全和公民自由。该项目将进一步加强产业界/大学在生物识别领域的合作，从而增加将最佳研究想法迅速转化为实践的机会。本科生和研究生将参与研究和原型制作。BioCloud将在三所参与大学为创新的本科生和研究生院项目创建一个平台。将特别注意在STEM领域招收少数民族和来自传统代表性不足群体的学生

Program Director's Recommendation Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) Proposal #1332046, 1332118, 1331395 This proposal seeks funding for the Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) located at Clarkson University, West Virginia University, and the University of Arizona. Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 11-570. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. In this Fundamental Research proposal the PIs will explore the migration of biometric applications into a Cloud Computing environment. Using existing cloud hardware and software infrastructure at participating Universities, the PIs will design and demonstrate a multi-university, multi-domain, multi-dataset virtual biometric cloud - BioCloud. The PIs plan to analyze access control, privacy protection and data sharing policies and techniques. Selected solutions will then be used to develop the BioCloud prototype that will support Biometric Software (Identification) as a Service (B-SaaS), Biometric Data as a Service (B-DaaS), and Biometric Platform as a Service (B-PaaS). In this proposed work, the PIs will develop the catalog of requirements, futures and constraints that must be addressed in identity management applications. Verifiable protection policies and techniques that guard personally identifiable information in pervasive next generation government and commercial identity management cloud-based applications are the prerequisite for the improved public trust, which in turn allows for sustainable protection of security and civil liberties. The project will further improve the industry/ university collaboration in the field of biometrics, thus increasing the chances of speedy transition of best research ideas into practice. Undergraduate and graduate students will be included in the research and prototyping. BioCloud will create a platform for innovative undergraduate and graduate school projects at the three participating universities. Special attention will be given to the recruitment of minorities and students from traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM fields
