SaTC: Student Travel Support: Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) 2018

该奖项为参加PETS 2018隐私增强技术研讨会的美国学生提供学生旅行奖学金。PETS通过将来自世界各地的匿名和隐私专家聚集在一起，讨论在线隐私方面的最新进展和新观点，解决了互联网和其他数据系统和通信网络的隐私服务的设计和实现问题。PETS的主题从面向隐私的密码学和隐私的正式定义到解决人类行为和围绕隐私的激励措施，研究人员来自不同的学科背景。对于本科生和研究生研究人员来说，参加PETS之类的会议是学生体验中极其重要的一部分，提供了与同行和更资深的研究人员互动的机会，同时听取了隐私方面的前沿工作。这份提案中要求的支持将使原本无法参加PETS 2018的美国学生能够参与，重点是支持来自历史上在计算方面代表性不足的群体的学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award funds student travel fellowships for U.S. students attending PETS 2018, the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium. PETS addresses the design and realization of privacy services for the Internet and other data systems and communication networks by bringing together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances in, and new perspectives on, online privacy. PETS topics range from privacy-oriented cryptography and formal definitions of privacy to addressing human behavior and incentives around privacy, and researchers come from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Participation in conferences such as PETS is an extremely important part of the student experience for both undergraduate and graduate researchers, providing the opportunity to interact with peers and more senior researchers while hearing about leading edge work in privacy. The support requested in this proposal will enable the participation of U.S. students who would otherwise be unable to attend PETS 2018, with a focus on supporting students from groups historically underrepresented in computing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
