This funding renews a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on embedded systems security research at the University of Connecticut. The vast number of embedded devices and their wide-spread usage in all aspects of our daily life and work has made their security vulnerabilities much more dangerous and costly than traditional software vulnerabilities. Students will participate in research projects that are timely and in an area of national priority. Specific activities include collaborative projects in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Computer Science and Engineering Department, including research in practical quantum communication, network routing and communication security, secure mobile computing, secure voting systems, neuromorphic systems security, embedded hardware authentication, secure processor architecture, and provable secure embedded systems. A series of seminars will equip students with knowledge specific to the various research projects as well as general skills required in graduate school. In addition, the undergraduate students will have the opportunity to participate in a professional conference. The intellectual merit of this project lies with the strong research team and the focus on computer systems security, an area of national need and of interest to students. The students will participate in research initiatives that investigate hardware and software design principles, computer architecture, verifiable computing and other aspects of trustable computing systems. The objectives of the REU Site project are to introduce trustable computing systems research work to undergraduate students in the early stages of their academic careers and spark their interests; to prepare students for graduate school to create next generation of computer systems security researchers; to attract students from underrepresented groups to become researchers and computing professionals; and to attract students from institutions where they may not have the opportunity to participate in research.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.

这笔资金更新了康涅狄格大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站，专注于嵌入式系统安全研究。大量的嵌入式设备及其在我们日常生活和工作的各个方面的广泛使用，使其安全漏洞比传统的软件漏洞更加危险和昂贵。学生将参加及时和国家优先领域的研究项目。具体活动包括电子与计算机工程系和计算机科学与工程系的合作项目，包括实用量子通信，网络路由和通信安全，安全移动的计算，安全投票系统，神经形态系统安全，嵌入式硬件认证，安全处理器架构和可证明的安全嵌入式系统的研究。 一系列的研讨会将使学生掌握各种研究项目的具体知识以及研究生院所需的一般技能。此外，本科生将有机会参加专业会议。该项目的智力价值在于强大的研究团队和对计算机系统安全的关注，这是国家需要和学生感兴趣的领域。学生将参与研究活动，调查硬件和软件设计原理，计算机体系结构，可验证计算和可信计算系统的其他方面。REU网站项目的目标是在本科生的学术生涯的早期阶段向他们介绍可靠的计算系统研究工作，并激发他们的兴趣;为研究生院的学生做好准备，以创建下一代计算机系统安全研究人员;吸引来自代表性不足的群体的学生成为研究人员和计算专业人员;该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
