NSF Student Travel Fund for the 2020 Annual International Cryptology Conference (Crypto)

该提案支持20名学生参加2020年国际密码学研究协会（IACR）的年度国际密码学会议（Crypto），该会议将于2020年8月16日至20日在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校举行。自1981年第一届会议以来，Crypto一直在美国加利福尼亚州的圣巴巴拉市举行，并已成为密码学领域的旗舰会议，吸引了来自世界各地的研究人员。会议讨论和介绍的工作范围从密码学的理论基础到应用和密码学方案的实现。这项旅行补助金将为美国和/或美国公民研究生提供职业发展和学习机会。参加会议是我们社会未来计算机安全研究人员研究生教育的重要组成部分。学生将有机会与世界一流的计算机安全研究人员讨论前沿研究，并建立网络，联系和指导关系，这将为他们的研究生涯提供良好的服务。这笔赠款提供旅行支持，以鼓励通常难以参加的学生参加2020年的会议。选择的标准包括对该领域有浓厚兴趣的证据，如研究成果、课程作业和/或项目经验。组织者鼓励来自其他代表性不足群体的妇女和学生参与。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This proposal supports 20 students' travel to attend the 2020 The International Association of Cryptologic Research (IACR)'s annual International Cryptology Conference (Crypto) to be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara August 16-20, 2020. Since the first conference in 1981, Crypto has been held in Santa Barbara, California, and has become the flagship conference in cryptology, attracting researchers from all over the world. The scope of the work discussed and presented at the conference ranges from the theoretical foundation of cryptology to applications and the implementation of cryptographic schemes. This travel grant will enable career development and learning opportunities for US-based and/or US citizen graduate students. Attending conferences is an important component of graduate school education for our society's future computer security researchers. Students will have the opportunity to discuss leading edge research with world-class computer security researchers, and establish networks, connections, and mentoring relationships that will serve them well during their research careers.This grant provides travel support to encourage participation in the 2020 conference by students who would normally find it difficult to attend. Criteria for selection include evidence of a serious interest in the field, as demonstrated by research output, coursework and/or project experience. Organizers encourage participation of women and students from other under-represented groups.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.
