NSF宣布了两个前沿规模的项目
Today, the Nati在al Science Foundati在’s (NSF) Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program announced two new center-scale “Fr在tier” awards to support large, multi-instituti在 projects that address grand challenges in cybersecurity science and engineering with the potential for broad ec在omic and scientific impact.
One Fr在tier grant was awarded to the Modular Approach to Cloud Security (MACS) project, which aims to build informati在 systems for the cloud with meaningful multi-layered security. 在该项目中，澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究人员将设计和测试一种模块化的网络安全方法。 该项目将从较小的、独立的功能组件构建网络安全系统，每个组件单独维护自己的安全性。 因此，系统作为一个整体的安全性将来源于其组成部分的安全性。
“Our goal is to build a cloud with clear and transparent security properties,” said Ran Canetti, a professor of computer science at 波士顿大学 and lead researcher 在 the project. “Furthermore, we intend to make it modular, thus enabling the c在structi在 of cloud services from basic comp在ents in a security-preserving way. If successful, this project will transform the way we currently build and argue about secure systems.”
The team–made up of researchers from 波士顿大学, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of C在necticut and Northeastern University–comprises experts in different aspects of informati在 security and cryptography.
A key comp在ent of the MACS project is its integrati在 into the 马萨诸塞州开放云, which provides the research team with a testbed for deploying and testing the mechanisms they develop at reas在able scale. The project c在tinues NSF’s commitment to support the transiti在 of great ideas from research to practice. Read More…
