KanSec: the Greater Kansas Area Security Workshop

大堪萨斯地区安全研讨会（KanSec）为堪萨斯和邻近各州的研究人员和学生提供了一个定期论坛，以展示网络安全领域的研究和教育活动，并促进互动和合作。在堪萨斯州有三个国家安全局/国土安全部国家信息保障教育学术卓越中心（CAE/IAE）和信息保障研究中心（CAE/R），正在开展大量的网络安全研究和教育活动。KanSec的成立是为了鼓励合作，尽管该地区的地理偏远。 2012年春季和秋季分别举办了前两次KanSec研讨会，每次研讨会有50多名参与者，每次活动约有10名学生发言。下一次研讨会计划于2013年春季在堪萨斯大学举办，并已收到来自邻近州的大学的参与询问，包括俄克拉荷马州，内布拉斯加州和阿肯色州。为了提高研讨会的质量，并给学生更好的体验，KanSec将邀请著名的研究人员作为未来KanSec研讨会的主题演讲人。这笔赠款支持学生前往KanSec研讨会在春季和秋季2013。

The Greater Kansas Area Security Workshop (KanSec) provides a regular forum for researchers and students across Kansas and the neighboring states to present research and educational activities in the field of cybersecurity, and to promote interactions and collaborations. With three NSA/DHS National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE) and IA Research (CAE/R) in the State of Kansas, substantial cybersecurity research and educational activities are taking place. KanSec was formed to encourage collaboration despite the geographical remoteness of the area. The first two KanSec workshops, in Spring and Fall 2012 respectively, included over 50 participants each, with about 10 student presentations at each event. The next workshop is scheduled to be hosted at the University of Kansas in the Spring of 2013, and has received inquiries about participation from universities in neighboring states including Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Arkansas. To improve the quality of the workshop and to give students better experiences, KanSec will invite renowned researchers as keynote speakers for future KanSec workshops.This grant supports student travel to the KanSec workshops in spring and fall 2013.
