GREPSEC IV: Underrepresented Groups in Security Research

该提案为将于2019年5月在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的第四次GREPSEC：安全研究中代表不足的群体研讨会提供资金。这个为期一天半的研讨会面向女性和在计算机安全和隐私方面代表性不足的少数族裔，将与电气和电子工程师协会(IEEE)计算机协会的安全和隐私研讨会共同举办，这是安全领域的主要会议。讲习班的总体目标是增加从事计算机安全研究的妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的人数。安全是一个广泛的领域，包括网络安全、操作系统安全、基于语言的安全、取证、隐私以及法律和政策问题。组织者的目标是鼓励女性和来自代表人数不足的群体的研究生和高积极性的本科生选择安全作为他们的专业领域。他们的方法是展示该领域内的广泛问题，以及妇女和代表性不足的群体如何通过演讲和互动参与会议努力解决这些问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This proposal provides funding for the fourth GREPSEC: Underrepresented Groups in Security Research workshop, which will held in May 2019, in San Francisco, CA. This day-and-a-half-long workshop intended for women and underrepresented minorities in computer security and privacy, will be co-located with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society's Security and Privacy Symposium, the premier conference in security. The broad goal of the workshop is to increase the number of women and underrepresented minorities in computer security research. Security is a wide field, encompassing network security, operating system security, language-based security, forensics, privacy, as well as legal and policy issues. The goal of the organizers is to encourage graduate and highly motivated undergraduate students who are female and from underrepresented groups to choose security as their field of specialization. Their approach is to show the wide range of problems within the field and how women and underrepresented groups are working towards solving those problems with talks and interactive participatory sessions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
