GREPSEC IV: Underrepresented Groups in Security Research

该提案为第四次GREPSEC提供资金：安全研究研讨会中代表性不足的群体，该研讨会将于2019年5月在加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行。这个为期一天半的研讨会针对计算机安全和隐私方面的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族，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（安全方面的首要会议）共同举办。研讨会的广泛目标是增加计算机安全研究中妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的人数。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、隐私以及法律的和政策问题。组织者的目标是鼓励来自代表性不足群体的女性研究生和积极性很高的本科生选择安全作为其专业领域。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会谈和互动参与式会议努力解决这些问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

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.
