Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research - University of Kent

多年来，安全一直是该大学的一个研究领域。科学学院有强大的技术研究小组：在工程和数字艺术学院从事身份管理工作;在计算学院，工作包括信任管理和恶意软件分析。安迪·金教授和大卫·查德威克教授等工作人员具有非常强的国际形象，吸引了大量的外部资金，并被列入科学院的计划，作为未来扩张的一个领域。另一个新的讲师在安全已被任命为计算机开始在2015年1月。我们已经建立了一个跨学科中心网络安全在2012年，它汇集了科学的技术经验与研究人员从整个社会科学系，特别是从法律，心理学，社会政策，社会学和社会研究的高度评价的学校。该中心为端到端安全的跨学科研究提供了重点，除了技术解决方案外，还包括人为和社会因素。我们现正进行多项由外界资助的跨学科研究计划，并正筹备更多计划。这项建议旨在透过资助举办活动、制作宣传材料（包括网页），以及透过为中心主任提供时间和行政支援，以支援该中心的日常运作。

Security has been an area of research strength in the University for several years. There are strong technical research groups in the Faculty of Sciences: in the School of Engineering and Digital Arts with work on identity management; and in the School of Computing, with work including trust management and malware analysis. Staff such as Prof Andy King and Prof David Chadwick have very strong international profiles, have attracted significant external funding and are included in the Faculty of Sciences' plan as an area for future expansion. Another new lecturer in Security has been appointed in Computing to start in January 2015.We have established an Interdisciplinary Centre for Cyber Security in 2012, which brings together the technical experience in Sciences with researchers from across the Social Sciences Faculty, in particular from highly rated Schools of Law, Psychology, and Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research. This centre provides a focus for cross-disciplinary research in end-to-end security, including human and social factors in addition to the technical solutions. Several cross-discipline externally funded research projects are in place, and many more in preparation.This proposal aims to support the Advanced Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research through financial contributions to events, publicity material including webpages, and the day to day running of the centre through time for its director and administrative support.
