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

计划主任建议识别技术研究中心（CITeR）提案#1332046，1332118，1331395该提案旨在为位于克拉克森大学，西弗吉尼亚大学和亚利桑那大学的识别技术研究中心（CITeR）提供资金。基础研究的资金申请由NSF批准的招标（NSF 11-570）授权。征集邀请I/UCRC提交支持行业定义的基础研究的提案。在这个基础研究提案中，PI将探索生物识别应用程序迁移到云计算环境中。利用参与大学现有的云硬件和软件基础设施，PI将设计和演示多大学，多领域，多数据集的虚拟生物识别云- BioCloud。PI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（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，PI将制定身份管理应用程序中必须解决的要求，未来和限制的目录。可验证的保护政策和技术，保护下一代政府和商业身份管理云应用程序中的个人身份信息，是提高公众信任的先决条件，这反过来又可以持续保护安全和公民自由。该项目将进一步改善生物识别领域的行业/大学合作，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设计。BioCloud将为三所参与大学的创新本科和研究生院项目创建一个平台。将特别关注STEM领域少数民族和传统代表性不足群体的学生的招聘

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
