REU Site: Security of Smart Things: From Small Devices to Large Infrastructures

这笔资金在佛罗里达国际大学建立了一个新的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。来自全国各地的本科生将参加夏季研究，重点是智能设备的安全性，特别是可穿戴设备。研究项目将推出实用创新和试验台，以维护可穿戴技术、传感器和移动设备等智能设备以及涉及智能建筑、智能电网、智能照明和通信基础设施的智能基础设施的隐私和安全。学生应该掌握在对维护国家安全至关重要的领域获得职业回报的技能。学生将学习如何在确保所有公民的安全和隐私所需的领域设计、实施和评估研究项目。该网站将专注于招收代表不足的少数族裔，特别是利用周围有大量拉美裔人口的大学。学生将使用最先进的设施和设备，这些设备和设备由在智能设备安全方面拥有丰富专业知识的教职员工运营。该项目的目标包括为本科生提供高质量的研究体验，增加女性和代表性不足的少数群体在计算机领域的参与，为学生在网络安全领域攻读研究生做好准备，以及建立智能物研究人员的安全社区。本网站由CEISE安全和值得信赖的网络空间(SATC)计划共同资助。

This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the Florida International University. Undergraduate students from across the nation will participate in summer research focused on the security of smart devices, particularly wearable devices. The research projects will introduce practical innovations and testbeds for maintaining the privacy and security of smart devices such as wearable technologies, sensors, and mobile devices as well as smart infrastructures involving smart buildings, smart grids, and smart lighting and communication infrastructures. The students should acquire skills that will lead to rewarding professional careers in areas that are vital for preserving our national security.The students will learn how to design, implement, and assess research projects in areas that are needed to ensure safety and privacy of all citizens. The site will focus on recruiting under-represented minorities, particularly drawing on the surrounding universities with large Hispanic populations. The students will use of state-of-the art facilities and devices run by faculty members with significant expertise in the security of smart things. The goals of the project include providing a quality research experience for undergraduates, increasing participation of female and under-represented minorities in computing fields, and preparing students to pursue graduate studies in cyber security fields, and building a community of security of smart things researchers. This site is co-funded by the CISE Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) Program.
