Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research - University of Kent

多年来，安全一直是该大学的研究优势领域。理学院有强大的技术研究小组：工程和数字艺术学院从事身份管理工作；在计算机学院，从事信任管理和恶意软件分析等工作。安迪·金教授和大卫·查德威克教授等教职员工拥有非常强大的国际形象，吸引了大量外部资金，并被纳入理学院的计划，作为未来扩张的一个领域。另一名新的安全讲师已被任命为计算机，于2015年1月开始。2012年，我们建立了一个跨学科的网络安全中心，汇集了来自社会科学学院的研究人员在科学方面的技术经验，特别是来自高评价的法学院、心理学和社会政策学院、社会学和社会研究学院。该中心为端到端安全的跨学科研究提供了一个重点，除了技术解决方案外，还包括人为和社会因素。几个跨学科的外部资助的研究项目已经到位，还有更多的正在准备中。本提案旨在通过资助活动、宣传材料（包括网页）以及为中心主任提供日常运营和行政支持等方式，支持网络安全研究高级卓越中心。

Security has been an area of research strength in the University for several years. There are strong technical research groups in the Faculty of Sciences: in the School of Engineering and Digital Arts with work on identity management; and in the School of Computing, with work including trust management and malware analysis. Staff such as Prof Andy King and Prof David Chadwick have very strong international profiles, have attracted significant external funding and are included in the Faculty of Sciences' plan as an area for future expansion. Another new lecturer in Security has been appointed in Computing to start in January 2015.We have established an Interdisciplinary Centre for Cyber Security in 2012, which brings together the technical experience in Sciences with researchers from across the Social Sciences Faculty, in particular from highly rated Schools of Law, Psychology, and Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research. This centre provides a focus for cross-disciplinary research in end-to-end security, including human and social factors in addition to the technical solutions. Several cross-discipline externally funded research projects are in place, and many more in preparation.This proposal aims to support the Advanced Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research through financial contributions to events, publicity material including webpages, and the day to day running of the centre through time for its director and administrative support.
