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.

CISE本科生研究经验(REU)网站奖资助纽约理工学院一个优秀的REU网站的更新。该网站将从全国范围内招募本科生，参与与智能手机和无线网络等移动设备安全相关的研究。保护移动设备和网络的安全是当前感兴趣的领域，非常适合本科生的研究效率。学生将使用最先进的研究环境，通过创建新的移动设备用户身份验证方法、保护数据隐私的高效加密协议、检测恶意软件以及使用硬件和软件方法设计安全通信协议，来应对保护移动设备安全的挑战。这个网站应该有助于培养一批计算机专业人员，他们能够设计影响社会的未来系统，并提高我们的生活质量。REU的经验为学生提供了在快速发展和对国家具有重要意义的领域追求计算职业和研究的基础和灵感。该项目由一支优秀的团队领导，提供现代化的设施和专业的导师，指导本科生探索与移动安全相关的问题。学生将学习如何使用当前的工具和技术来解决那些对人有直接影响的问题。该团队将使用经过验证的策略，从传统上在计算机科学领域代表性不足的群体中招收本科生。这些学生将参加研究和职业发展活动，所有这些活动都是为了实现留住和毕业计算机科学和工程专业的本科生，从计算机领域传统上代表性不足的群体招收学生，以及增加研究生项目的招生人数。
