Title: REU Site: Software SecurityThis project offers a nine-week summer program for 10 undergraduate students to gain research experience in software security at Boise State University. During the summer program, each student works with a faculty mentor on a carefully designed research project. The recruiting effort focuses on students from underrepresented groups and academic institutions with limited research opportunities or without cybersecurity programs. At least 50% participants are selected from other academic institutions. The intellectual merits of this project are that the research experiences motivate undergraduate students to purse graduate studies in software security, an area of national priority, and that students make innovative contributions and advance the knowledge base in emerging areas of software security. The broader significance and importance is that this project allows a diverse pool of motivated students from underrepresented groups and universities with limited research opportunities to gain research experiences in software security. The process of learning how to do research, write up and present research results, better prepares students for their future field of study. By focusing on the critical area of software security, an area in which there are few trained experts, the site addresses a pressing national need by training qualified students.Under the supervision of faculty mentors, the students work on research projects related to various software security issues. Sample projects are assurance of obligatory attribute-based access control, automated debugging of attribute-based access control policies, secure development of software-defined networking applications, and efficient symbolic execution for detection of software vulnerability.

职务名称：REU研究中心：软件安全这个项目为10名本科生提供了一个为期九周的暑期项目，以获得博伊西州立大学软件安全方面的研究经验。在暑期课程中，每个学生都与一位教师导师一起进行精心设计的研究项目。招聘工作的重点是来自代表性不足的群体和学术机构的学生，这些群体和学术机构的研究机会有限或没有网络安全项目。至少50%的参与者来自其他学术机构。该项目的智力优势在于，研究经验激励本科生追求软件安全研究生课程，这是国家优先考虑的领域，并且学生做出创新贡献并推进软件安全新兴领域的知识基础。更广泛的意义和重要性在于，该项目允许来自代表性不足的群体和研究机会有限的大学的各种有动力的学生获得软件安全方面的研究经验。学习如何做研究，撰写和展示研究成果的过程，更好地为学生未来的研究领域做好准备。该网站以软件安全这一关键领域为重点，这是一个几乎没有训练有素的专家的领域，通过培训合格的学生来解决国家的迫切需要。在教师导师的监督下，学生们从事与各种软件安全问题有关的研究项目。示例项目包括强制性基于属性的访问控制的保证、基于属性的访问控制策略的自动调试、软件定义网络应用程序的安全开发以及用于检测软件漏洞的高效符号执行。
