This CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award funds the renewal of an outstanding REU site at New York Institute of Technology. The site will recruit undergraduates from across the nation to participate in research related to securing mobile devices such as smart phones and wireless networks. Securing mobile devices and networks is an area of current interest that is well-suited to undergraduate research productivity. The students will use state-of-the-art research environments to address the challenges of securing mobile devices by creating new methods for authenticating users of mobile devices, efficient cryptographic protocols that preserve privacy of data, detecting malware, and designing secure communication protocols using both hardware and software approaches. This site should help develop a group of computing professionals who can design the systems of the future that impact society and enhance our quality of life. The REU experience provides students with the foundations and inspiration to pursue computing careers and research in areas that are rapidly evolving and are of importance to the nation. The project is led by an outstanding team offering modern facilities and professional mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of problems related to mobile security. Students will learn how to use current tools and techniques to solve those problems that have direct impact on people. The team will use proven strategies to recruit undergraduate students from groups traditionally under-represented in computer science. The students will participate in research and professional development activities all designed to achieve the goals of retaining and graduating undergraduate students in computer science and engineering, recruiting students from groups traditionally under-represented in computing fields, and increasing recruitment of students into graduate programs.

这项针对本科生（REU）网站奖的CISE研究经验为纽约理工学院杰出的REU网站的续签提供了资金。 该网站将招募全国各地的大学生，以参与与保护智能手机和无线网络等移动设备有关的研究。 确保移动设备和网络是当前感兴趣的领域，非常适合本科研究生产力。 学生将使用最先进的研究环境来通过创建新的方法来验证移动设备的用户，有效的加密协议，以保护数据的隐私，检测恶意软件以及使用硬件和软件方法设计安全的通信协议来解决安全设备的挑战。 该网站应有助于开发一组计算专业人员，他们可以设计影响社会并增强我们生活质量的未来系统。 REU的经验为学生提供了基础和灵感，以从事迅速发展且对国家至关重要的领域的计算职业和研究。 该项目由一支提供现代设施和专业导师的杰出团队领导，以指导本科生，以探索与移动安全有关的问题。学生将学习如何使用当前的工具和技术来解决那些直接影响人们的问题。 该团队将采用经过验证的策略来招募传统上代表计算机科学人数不足的小组的本科生。 学生将参加研究和专业发展活动，旨在实现计算机科学和工程学专业的本科生的目标，从传统上招募学生在计算领域的人数不足，并将学生招募到研究生课程中。
