Student Travel to the 2016 USENIX Security Symposium

该基金资助大约20名美国研究生参加2016年USENIX安全研讨会，这是一个领先的论坛，来自学术和工业背景的高级专业人士会面并讨论计算机系统和网络安全的最新进展。参加USENIX Security和类似的会议是研究生院经历中宝贵而重要的一部分。它为学生提供了与该领域更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并使学生接触到该领域的领先工作。这种支持使原本无法参加会议的学生能够参加会议。USENIX安全会议将于2016年8月在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行。会议包括一个为期三天的技术项目，并设有多个研讨会。会议的目标是将研究人员、实践者、系统管理员、系统程序员和其他对计算机系统和网络安全的最新进展感兴趣的人聚集在一起。这种跨学科的强调使得它非常适合作为学生参与的目标，这个活动一直吸引着很大比例的学生参加。这个会场为学生提供了一个绝佳的平台，让他们了解计算机安全研究的最新进展，并参与各种子主题的讨论，包括网络和系统安全、开发安全系统的技术、可信计算技术、硬件安全、应用密码学等。

This grant funds approximately 20 U.S.-based graduate students to attend the 2016 USENIX Security Symposium, a leading forum for advanced professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds to meet and discuss the newest advances in the security of computer systems and networks. Participation in USENIX Security and similar conferences is a valuable and important part of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers in the field, and exposes students to leading work in the field. The support enables the participation of students who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. USENIX Security will be held in Austin TX, in August 2016. The conference consists of a three-day technical program, with numerous workshops co-located. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security of computer systems and networks. This cross-disciplinary emphasis makes it well suited as a target for student participation, and this event has always drawn a large proportion of student attendees. This venue provides an excellent vehicle for students to learn about the latest advances in computer security research, and participate in engaging discussions on a wide variety of sub-topics including network and system security, techniques for developing secure systems, technologies for trustworthy computing, hardware security, applied cryptography, etc.
