Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research - Lancaster University

兰开斯特网络安全卓越中心是一个跨计算与通信学院、心理学系和大学计算机语料库语言研究中心（UCREL）的多学科中心。该中心包括3位正教授（拉希德、哈奇森、霍纳里）、1位读者（安杰洛夫）、5位高级讲师（拉斯、罗迪格、泰勒、莫瑟、爱德华-沃德）和1位讲师（雷森）。此外，该中心还有一名专门的工作人员（Daniel Prince博士），负责管理其网络安全旗舰硕士项目，以及与行业和政府安全组织的广泛关系。中心小组还得到一名全职软件开发人员和一名全职管理员的进一步支持。该中心因其网络安全研究（Hutchison、Mauthe、Race）、通信安全（Honary、Hutchison、Race、Edwards）、移动网络和嵌入式系统安全（Race、Edwards、Roedig）、用于分析大型异构信息源的智能系统（Rashid、Rayson、Taylor、Angelov）以及导致网络安全威胁的用户行为和人为因素研究（Rashid、Taylor、Rayson）而享誉国际。这些长期工作人员由五名博士后研究助理（Greenwood, Baron, Smith, Simpson, Schaeffer-Filho）和两名研究员（Walkerdine, Taylor）提供支持。这项研究得到了多种来源的资助，包括研究委员会（EPSRC， ESRC），欧盟委员会，JANET和安全组织的直接投资。自2007年1月以来，该中心从这些来源获得了总计370万英镑的研究收入。此外，该中心还有一个蓬勃发展的博士项目，有12名学生在2007年1月至2011年12月期间完成了他们的论文，另有15名学生开始他们的博士研究。该中心的大多数员工和学生主要住在Infolab21，这是一个耗资1500万英镑的最先进的信息通信技术研究中心。两个关键原则渗透了该中心的研究精神，因此将其与典型的网络安全研究区分开来：(i)它专注于多学科研究，将传统的网络安全和通信机制与大规模数据分析方法相结合，以及由心理学和语言学方法提供信息的人类行为；（ii）与利益相关者，特别是政府组织和行业的网络安全从业人员密切合作。他们为我们的研究提供关键要求，并直接使用我们的成果。

The Lancaster Cyber Security Centre of Excellence is a multi-disciplinary centre spanning the School of Computing and Communications, the Department of Psychology and the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language (UCREL). The centre involves three full professors (Rashid, Hutchison, Honary), one Reader (Angelov), five senior lecturers (Race, Roedig, Taylor, Mauthe, Ed- wards) and one lecturer (Rayson). In addition, the centre has a dedicated member of staff (Dr. Daniel Prince) to manage its flagship Masters program in Cyber Security and the extensive relationships it has with industry and governmental security organisations. The centre team is further supported by a full-time software developer and a full-time administrator.The centre is internationally renowned for its cyber security research on network resilience (Hutchison, Mauthe, Race), security of communications (Honary, Hutchison, Race, Edwards), securing mobile networks and embedded systems (Race, Edwards, Roedig), intelligent systems for analysing large, heterogeneous information sources (Rashid, Rayson, Taylor, Angelov) and studies of user behaviours and human factors leading to cyber security threats (Rashid, Taylor, Rayson). These permanent members of staff are supported by five postdoctoral research associates (Greenwood, Baron, Smith, Simpson, Schaeffer-Filho) and two research fellows (Walkerdine, Taylor). This research has been funded from a variety of sources including research councils (EPSRC, ESRC), the European Commission, JANET and direct investment from security organisations. Since Jan. 2007, the centre has received total research income of £3.7m from these sources. In addition, the centre has a thriving PhD program with 12 students completing their theses between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2011 and another 15 starting their PhD studies. Most of the centre staff and students are principally housed in Infolab21, a £15m state-of-the-art research centre in ICT. Two key principles permeate the centre's research ethos and hence distinguish it from typical cyber security research (i) its focus on multi-disciplinary research that combines traditional network security and communications mechanisms with approaches for large-scale data analysis and human behaviours informed by psychological and linguistic approaches, and (ii) its close engagement with stakeholders especially practitioners in cyber security in both governmental organisations and industry, who provide key requirements for our research and directly use our outputs.
