Conference and Symposia Grants: IEEE CNS Conference Student Travel Support Proposal
Abstract
Cyber security has become an important research and development area for academia, government, and industry in recent years. As government and industry investment in cyber security research continues to grow, there will be a dramatic increase in the amount of new results generated by the research community, which must be disseminated widely amongst the research community in order to provide the peer review feedback that is needed to ensure that high-quality solutions that address important and emerging security issues are developed. Launched in 2013, The IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS) has become a core ComSoc conference (at a level comparable to IEEE INFOCOM) dedicated to Communications and Network Security. It has served as a premier forum for communications and network security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and users to exchange ideas, techniques and tools, raise awareness, and share experience related to security and privacy. IEEE CNS seeks original high-quality technical papers from academia, government, and industry. Topics of interest encompass all practical and theoretical aspects of communications and network security, all the way from the physical layer to the various network layers to the variety of applications reliant on a secure communication substrate. Submissions with main contribution in other areas, such as information security, software security, system security, or applied cryptography, have also been considered if a clear connection to secure communications/networking is demonstrated. This proposal aims to encourage student participations in IEEE CNS 2018 and 2019. Participation in such technical forums is critical to a PhD and other levels of students for their maturity and development. The opportunity to interact with senior researchers in the field is a motivating experience, especially to those who are early in their research programs. The active presence of students is critical for the success of the conference. The student participations at CNS 2018 and 2019 will contribute to the enhancement and improvement of scientific, engineering, and/or educational activities outlined in PART I of the BAA W911NF-17-S-0002, as well as training future quality workforce for DoD agencies.
