REU Site: Security of Smart Things: From Small Devices to Large Infrastructures

这笔资金在佛罗里达国际大学建立了一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）站点。来自全国各地的本科生将参加夏季研究，重点是智能设备，特别是可穿戴设备的安全性。这些研究项目将为维护可穿戴技术、传感器、移动设备等智能设备以及智能建筑、智能电网、智能照明和通信基础设施等智能基础设施的隐私和安全，引入实用创新和试验台。学生们应该获得的技能，将导致在对维护我们的国家安全至关重要的领域的职业生涯回报。学生将学习如何设计、实施和评估需要确保所有公民安全和隐私的领域的研究项目。该网站将专注于招募代表性不足的少数族裔，特别是吸引周边拥有大量西班牙裔人口的大学。学生将使用最先进的设施和设备，由在智能设备安全方面具有重要专业知识的教师管理。该项目的目标包括为本科生提供高质量的研究体验，增加女性和代表性不足的少数族裔在计算机领域的参与，为学生攻读网络安全领域的研究生做好准备，并建立一个智能物安全研究人员社区。本网站由CISE安全和可信网络空间（SaTC）计划共同资助。

This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the Florida International University. Undergraduate students from across the nation will participate in summer research focused on the security of smart devices, particularly wearable devices. The research projects will introduce practical innovations and testbeds for maintaining the privacy and security of smart devices such as wearable technologies, sensors, and mobile devices as well as smart infrastructures involving smart buildings, smart grids, and smart lighting and communication infrastructures. The students should acquire skills that will lead to rewarding professional careers in areas that are vital for preserving our national security.The students will learn how to design, implement, and assess research projects in areas that are needed to ensure safety and privacy of all citizens. The site will focus on recruiting under-represented minorities, particularly drawing on the surrounding universities with large Hispanic populations. The students will use of state-of-the art facilities and devices run by faculty members with significant expertise in the security of smart things. The goals of the project include providing a quality research experience for undergraduates, increasing participation of female and under-represented minorities in computing fields, and preparing students to pursue graduate studies in cyber security fields, and building a community of security of smart things researchers. This site is co-funded by the CISE Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Program.
