Wireless technologies have fueled IT and economic growth around the globe. The past decade has witnessed an explosive deployment of wireless technologies, coupled with a rapid development of highly capable mobile devices and life-changing applications. Advances in wireless technologies have led to a pervasive communication fabric that encompasses everything such as vehicles, smartphones, smart meters, environmental sensors, portable medical devices, and personal communication devices. There is no doubt that the wireless cyberspace has had a transformative impact on the society and has revolutionized almost all aspects of daily life, work, and leisure. The ever-growing wireless cyberspace is unfortunately accompanied by a commensurate increase in security threats, both originating from and directed at the wireless cyberspace. It is thus not surprising that cyber security has become a focus for research and development across academic, government, and industry sectors in recent years. On the one hand, wireless networks and systems often have characteristics and security requirements that are quite varied. On the other hand, there are new opportunities to explore for securing the wireless cyberspace.This NSF Workshop on Wireless Security is to help the research community better understand the critical need for security in future wireless networked systems and identify promising research directions to secure the wireless cyberspace. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners in multiple fields-such as wireless networking, information theory, mobile systems, and security-and provides a forum for an in-depth scientific discussion and debate on the critical security challenges facing the future wireless cyberspace. This workshop is intended to cover a wide scope of emerging security and privacy issues in wireless networks, mobile systems, and wireless/mobile applications. The expected outcome of this workshop is a report that clearly identifies major research challenges in wireless security, exposes the research community to new and exciting inter-disciplinary research problems, and articulates a vision of conducting fundamental and inter-disciplinary research in this area. The workshop engages various stakeholders in the community to explore strategies for enhancing educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. The workshop also engages personnel from across the entire US including women and minority faculty and researchers. The final workshop report will be available online for sharing with the research community.

无线技术推动了全球的IT和经济增长。过去十年见证了无线技术的爆炸性部署，以及功能强大的移动设备和改变生活的应用程序的快速发展。无线技术的进步导致了一种无处不在的通信结构，它涵盖了车辆、智能手机、智能电表、环境传感器、便携式医疗设备和个人通信设备等一切东西。毫无疑问，无线网络空间对社会产生了革命性的影响，几乎彻底改变了日常生活、工作和休闲的方方面面。不幸的是，不断增长的无线网络空间伴随着安全威胁的相应增加，这些威胁既来自无线网络空间，也指向无线网络空间。因此，网络安全近年来成为学术界、政府和工业界研究和开发的重点也就不足为奇了。一方面，无线网络和系统的特性和安全要求往往千差万别。另一方面，无线网络空间的安全也有新的探索机会。此次NSF无线安全研讨会旨在帮助研究界更好地了解未来无线网络系统对安全的迫切需求，并确定未来无线网络空间安全的有前途的研究方向。该研讨会汇集了多个领域的研究人员和从业者--如无线网络、信息理论、移动系统和安全--并提供了一个论坛，就未来无线网络空间面临的关键安全挑战进行深入的科学讨论和辩论。本研讨会旨在涵盖无线网络、移动系统和无线/移动应用程序中新出现的安全和隐私问题。此次研讨会的预期结果是一份报告，该报告明确确定了无线安全领域的主要研究挑战，向研究界展示了新的、令人兴奋的跨学科研究问题，并阐明了在该领域开展基础和跨学科研究的愿景。研讨会邀请社会上的不同利益攸关方探讨增加研究生和本科生受教育机会的策略。该研讨会还邀请了来自全美各地的人员，包括女性和少数族裔教职员工和研究人员。最后的研讨会报告将在网上提供，供研究社区分享。
