NSF Workshop on Wireless Security

无线技术推动了全球信息技术和经济的增长。过去十年见证了无线技术的爆炸性部署，以及高性能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无处不在的通信结构，包括车辆、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。毫无疑问，无线网络空间对社会产生了变革性的影响，并彻底改变了日常生活、工作和休闲的几乎所有方面。随着无线网络空间的不断发展，来自无线网络空间和针对无线网络空间的安全威胁也相应地增加。因此，近年来网络安全成为学术界、政府和工业界研究和开发的重点也就不足为奇了。一方面，无线网络和系统通常具有各种各样的特性和安全要求。另一方面，无线网络空间的安全也有新的探索机会。本次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，并确定有前途的研究方向，以确保无线网络空间的安全。本次研讨会汇集了多个领域的研究人员和实践者，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。本次研讨会旨在涵盖无线网络、移动系统和无线/移动应用中出现的广泛的安全和隐私问题。本次研讨会的预期成果是一份报告，该报告清楚地确定了无线安全的主要研究挑战，向研究界展示了新的和令人兴奋的跨学科研究问题，并阐明了在该领域进行基础和跨学科研究的愿景。工作坊邀请社会各持份者参与，探讨增加研究生及本科生受教育机会的策略。该研讨会还邀请了来自美国各地的人员，包括女性和少数族裔教师和研究人员。研讨会的最终报告将在网上提供，以便与研究界分享。

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.
