Cyber Security CDT Phase Two (University of Oxford)

在牛津大学网络安全CDT项目第一阶段取得成功之后，本提案旨在更新该项目。CDT目前已进入运作的第三个年头，最近接收了第三批（也是最后一批）由其初始赠款资助的队列。（EP/K035606/1）在2015年夏季进行了非常积极的外部审查之后，我们建议按照与已建立的模式继续其运作，并在本提案中请求资金支持另外三个队列的接收。我们最初为CDT设定了一个广泛的范围——在某些方面超越了会议的原始范围，同时保留了其核心焦点，即最初确定为我们优势的技术领域。我们的研究计划旨在专注于（但并非完全局限于）四个关键主题：大数据安全——保证——网络物理系统——实时安全。这些主题被故意设计得很宽泛——旨在帮助形成想法，而不是限制它们——因此我们希望绝大多数学生的项目都属于这些领域。我们注意到，社会对网络安全的理解在不断发展，因此将在我们的顾问委员会、赞助商代表和内部学术委员会的指导下，继续审查CDT的重点和范围。

This proposal is for a renewal, following a successful first phase, of the Oxford University CDT in Cyber Security. The CDT is presently in its third year of operation, and has recently admitted the third (and final) cohort funded under its initial grant. (EP/K035606/1) Following a very positive external review undertaken in summer 2015, we propose to continue its operation on a similar pattern to that which has been established, and in this proposal request funds to support a further three intakes of cohorts.We set a broad scope for the CDT initially - in some ways transcending the original scope from the call, whilst retaining its core focus on the technical domains originally identified as our strength. Our research programme was intended to focus on (but not be entirely exclusive to) four key themes: - big data security- assurance- cyber-physical systems- real-time securityThe themes are deliberately broad - designed to help form ideas, not to constrain them - and so we expect the great majority of student projects to fall into these areas. We are mindful that the community's understanding of cyber security continues to evolve, and so will continue to review of the CDT's emphasis and scope, guided by our Advisory Board, Sponsor Representatives, and our internal Academic Board.
