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

这项提案支持20名学生前往参加2020年国际密码学研究协会S年度国际密码学会议，该会议将于2020年8月16-20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已在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉举行，并成为密码学的旗舰会议，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密码方案的应用和实施。这项旅行津贴将为美国和/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院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，这将在他们的研究生涯中为他们提供良好的服务。这笔补助金提供旅行支持，以鼓励通常难以出席的学生参加2020年的会议。选择的标准包括对该领域有认真兴趣的证据，如研究成果、课程和/或项目经验所证明的那样。组织者鼓励女性和来自其他代表性不足群体的学生参与。这一奖项反映了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 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.
