1219451 This project supports a workshop proposal by Dr. Tarek Saadawi, CUNY City College, New York, NY for a US-Egypt Workshop: Cyber Security, Cairo, Egypt, December 2012. The Egyptian co-organizer is Dr. Ayman El-Dessouki, Electronics Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt. Many cyber security schemes are based solely on preventive or reactive, rather than proactive, measures such as patching of software or detecting already occurred attacks. Most of the network and information system security configurations are performed manually and require experts to monitor, tune security devices and recover from attacks. On the other hand, attacks are getting more sophisticated and highly automated which gives the attackers an advantage in this arms race. The workshop is to address important issues in cyber security and the protection of information systems and network infrastructure. The workshop will bring together leading researchers from academia, industry and the government for a comprehensive update on security and risk management research and development issues. The workshop will have scientists from USA and Egypt. The specific objectives of the proposed workshop are : To convene a gathering of US and Egypt scientists in the areas of cyber security in a workshop setting to explore the synergy between: o The current state-of-the-art in cyber security covering cryptology, network security and intrusion detection, software and operating system security, and software forensic techniques and tools; The current state-of-the-art in collaborative support technologies as they pertain to the support of collaborations between US and Egypt scientists; To identify specific US/Egypt institutions for faculty and graduate student exchange programs, with the intent that such initial institutions serve as models for wider exchanges; To identify specific areas of Undergraduate and Graduate Education which might be beneficial in the development of young scientists with specific interest in the Workshop areas; To disseminate the outcomes of the Workshop via the Internet and digital hardcopy (CDROM/DVD). Intellectual Merits: The research problems addressed in this workshop by leading scientists from US and Egypt will advance the research in this area. This workshop will help to identify specific US/Egypt institutions for faculty and graduate student exchange programs, with the intent that such initial institutions serve as models for wider exchanges.Broader Impacts: Research outcomes of this workshop will greatly benefit industries and educational institutes not only in the US and Egypt but other countries in the world as well. Students trained will acquire unique skills and expertise in the aspects of collaborations. The problems addressed in this project pertain to cyber security in general and information assurance and network security in particular. Thus the outcomes of this project can impact the society in the near future. The applications we target are very vital to the humans and the society. This proposal is supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program where NSF supports the US side and the Government of Egypt funds the Egyptian side.

1219451 该项目支持纽约市立大学城市学院 Tarek Saadawi 博士提出的关于美国-埃及研讨会的研讨会提案：网络安全，埃及开罗，2012 年 12 月。埃及协办者是 Ayman El-Dessouki 博士，电子研究所，埃及开罗。 许多网络安全方案仅基于预防性或反应性措施，而不是主动措施，例如修补软件或检测已发生的攻击。大多数网络和信息系统安全配置都是手动执行的，需要专家监控、调整安全设备并从攻击中恢复。另一方面，攻击变得越来越复杂和高度自动化，这使攻击者在这场军备竞赛中具有优势。该研讨会旨在解决网络安全以及信息系统和网络基础设施保护方面的重要问题。该研讨会将汇集来自学术界、工业界和政府的领先研究人员，全面更新安全和风险管理研究与开发问题。该研讨会将有来自美国和埃及的科学家参加。拟议研讨会的具体目标是： 在研讨会中召集美国和埃及网络安全领域的科学家，探讨以下领域之间的协同作用： o 当前网络安全领域的最新技术，包括密码学、网络安全和入侵检测、软件和操作系统安全以及软件取证技术和工具； 当前最先进的协作支持技术，因为它们涉及美国和埃及科学家之间的合作支持； 确定美国/埃及的教师和研究生交换项目的具体机构，目的是使这些初始机构成为更广泛交流的典范； 确定本科生和研究生教育的具体领域，这些领域可能有利于对研讨会领域有特定兴趣的年轻科学家的发展；通过互联网和数字硬拷贝（CDROM/DVD）传播研讨会成果。学术价值：来自美国和埃及的顶尖科学家在本次研讨会上解决的研究问题将推动该领域的研究。本次研讨会将有助于确定美国/埃及的教师和研究生交流项目的具体机构，目的是使这些初始机构成为更广泛交流的典范。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会的研究成果不仅将极大地造福于行业和教育机构在美国和埃及，以及世界其他国家。接受培训的学生将获得合作方面的独特技能和专业知识。该项目解决的问题涉及一般网络安全，特别是信息保障和网络安全。因此，该项目的成果可能会在不久的将来对社会产生影响。我们的目标应用对人类和社会都非常重要。该提案得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，其中美国国家科学基金会支持美国方面，埃及政府为埃及方面提供资金。
