IGERT: Usable Privacy and Security

这一综合性研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)项目支持卡内基梅隆大学发展一个跨学科研究生项目，以培训可用隐私和安全领域的研究人员。该项目将提供安全、隐私、人机交互、人工智能、经济学和心理学等课程，以补充学生的主要学习领域。越来越多的人认识到，隐私和安全故障往往是认知和行为偏差以及人为错误的结果。这些故障中的许多可以归因于设计不佳的用户界面或安全系统，这些系统没有围绕操作员的需求和技能而构建；换句话说，系统没有使隐私和安全可用。这项IGERT将培训跨学科的研究人员，并开发可应用于不同系统和应用的方法、原则和方法。随着社会和经济活动越来越依赖网络基础设施，60%的安全漏洞可归因于人的失误，这一IGERT解决了当今社会面临的最根本的挑战之一：设计可用的安全系统。它通过：(1)产生研究进展，在当前和未来的普及计算环境中提供可用的隐私和安全；(2)培训新一代研究人员，从事关于可用的隐私和安全的跨学科研究，并将这种研究应用于现实世界的问题；(3)招收和培训在传统计算机安全和信息保证研究生课程中代表性较低的学生。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的项目，旨在应对培养具有跨学科背景、所选学科的深厚知识以及满足未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) project supports the development of an interdisciplinary graduate program at Carnegie Mellon University to train researchers in the field of usable privacy and security. The program will provide courses in security, privacy, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, economics, and psychology to complement the students' primary fields of study. There is growing recognition that privacy and security failures are often the results of cognitive and behavioral biases and human errors. Many of these failures can be attributed to poorly designed user interfaces or secure systems that have not been built around the needs and skills of their human operators; in other words, systems that have not made privacy and security usable. This IGERT will train cross-disciplinary researchers and develop methodologies, principles, and approaches that can be applied to diverse systems and applications. With social and economic activities becoming increasingly reliant on cyber infrastructure and with 60% of security breaches attributable to human failure, this IGERT addresses one of the most fundamental challenges faced by society today: designing usable secure systems. It does so by: (1) producing research advances that will provide for usable privacy and security in both current and future pervasive computing environments; (2) training a new generation of researchers to engage in interdisciplinary research on usable privacy and security and apply such research to real-world problems; (3) recruiting and training students underrepresented in traditional computer security and information assurance graduate programs. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.
