This International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project provides funding for 10-week summer research experiences in physical-layer security at the University of Coimbra in Portugal. Over the three-year project duration, the three yearly unifying topics of student projects will be network protocols for secrecy, intentional jamming techniques for secrecy, and novel error-correcting codes for secrecy in wireless networks. Students will implement projects on a software radio platform where appropriate. The disseminated results will aid system designers in adding a completely new layer of security at the physical-layer of modern networks.This project will increase the understanding of physical-layer security for communications in real-world sensor networks. Over the three-year grant period, fifteen students (including at least twelve undergraduates) will conduct research in Coimbra, Portugal. The Portuguese research mentors are experts in physical-layer security and coding theory. Stronger collaborations between the universities will develop, leading to advanced results in physical-layer security. The research results may alter secure system design across many platforms to produce modern data security solutions. Recruitment of student participants will be performed at several diverse institutions throughout Southern Colorado, and will allow the development of effective mechanisms for attracting underrepresented groups to STEM research.

这项国际学生研究经验（IRES）项目为在葡萄牙科英布拉大学进行为期10周的物理层安全暑期研究提供资金。在为期三年的项目期间，学生项目的三年年度统一主题将是用于保密的网络协议，用于保密的故意干扰技术，以及用于无线网络保密的新型纠错码。学生将在适当的情况下在软件无线电平台上实施项目。传播的结果将帮助系统设计者在现代网络的物理层添加一个全新的安全层。该项目将增加对现实世界传感器网络通信物理层安全性的理解。在三年的资助期内，15名学生（包括至少12名本科生）将在葡萄牙科英布拉进行研究。葡萄牙的研究导师是物理层安全和编码理论方面的专家。两所大学之间将加强合作，在物理层安全方面取得更先进的成果。研究结果可能会改变跨许多平台的安全系统设计，以产生现代数据安全解决方案。学生参与者的招募将在南科罗拉多州的几个不同的机构进行，并将允许开发有效的机制来吸引代表性不足的群体参与STEM研究。
