REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Cyber Identity

这笔资金在北卡罗来纳农工大学建立了一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）站点。来自全国各地的本科生将参加以网络身份为重点的暑期研究。我们日常生活的数字化增加了建立更安全、更可靠的方式来为网上交易提供准确的身份识别和保护个人信息的需求。学生们将参与研究项目，调查帮助用户控制其数字身份安全的方法。网络身份研究及其应用为建立可信的在线身份、减少身份盗窃和确保隐私提供了巨大的希望。网络身份研究的挑战提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，将教师研究人员和学生聚集在一起，研究计算系统的基本原理和设计策略，以开发我们都可以信任的真实世界的安全系统。该项目由Cyber Corps (R)：服务奖学金项目共同资助。本网站探讨的研究项目侧重于计算框架、网络身份攻击和缓解策略领域的开放研究挑战。该研究的影响包括用于数字和概念身份的先进计算框架，用于在线身份和登录的扩展webid，减轻基于生物识别的访问控制系统中重播攻击的新方法，改进的分析与恶意软件相关的代码的作者分析，以及增强的网络攻击检测和归因攻击者。学生将使用最先进的设施和设备，并与在网络身份研究方面具有重要专业知识的教师导师一起工作。该网站将专注于招募未被充分代表的少数族裔，特别是利用主办院校周围地区的大型大学网络。学生将参加专业发展活动，使他们更加了解研究生院和计算机职业的专业方面。该项目应有助于培养一支在未来不断发展的全球社会中对国家安全至关重要的领域具有专业知识的多样化科学队伍。

This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at North Carolina A&T University. Undergraduate students from across the nation will participate in summer research focused on cyber identity. The digitization of our everyday lives has increased the need to establish safer and more secure ways to provide accurate identification for online transactions and to protect personal information. The students will participate in research projects that investigate methods to help users control the security of their digital identity. Cyber identity research and its applications hold great promise for establishing trusted online identity, reducing identity theft, and ensuring privacy. The challenges of cyber identity research provide an exciting opportunity to bring together faculty researchers and students to investigate fundamental principles and design strategies in computing systems to develop real-world, secure systems that we can all trust. This project is co-funded by the Cyber Corps (R): Scholarship for Service Program.The research projects explored in this site focus on open research challenges in the areas of computational frameworks, attacks on cyber identity, and mitigation strategies. Impacts of the research include an advanced computational framework for numerical and conceptual identities, extended webIDs for online identity and login, new approaches to alleviate replay attacks in Biometric based Access Control Systems, improved analytics for authorship analysis of code associated with malware, and enhanced cyber attack detection and attribution to attackers. The students will use of state-of-the art facilities and devices and work with faculty mentors with significant expertise in cyber identity research. The site will focus on recruiting under-represented minorities, particularly drawing on a large network of colleges in the region around the host institution. The students will participate in professional development activities that make them more aware of graduate school and professional aspects of a computing career. The project should contribute to the development of a diverse scientific workforce with expertise in areas critical to national security in the evolving global society of the future.
