This funding renews a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on embedded systems security research at the University of Connecticut. The vast number of embedded devices and their wide-spread usage in all aspects of our daily life and work has made their security vulnerabilities much more dangerous and costly than traditional software vulnerabilities. Students will participate in research projects that are timely and in an area of national priority. Specific activities include collaborative projects in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Computer Science and Engineering Department, including research in practical quantum communication, network routing and communication security, secure mobile computing, secure voting systems, neuromorphic systems security, embedded hardware authentication, secure processor architecture, and provable secure embedded systems. A series of seminars will equip students with knowledge specific to the various research projects as well as general skills required in graduate school. In addition, the undergraduate students will have the opportunity to participate in a professional conference. The intellectual merit of this project lies with the strong research team and the focus on computer systems security, an area of national need and of interest to students. The students will participate in research initiatives that investigate hardware and software design principles, computer architecture, verifiable computing and other aspects of trustable computing systems. The objectives of the REU Site project are to introduce trustable computing systems research work to undergraduate students in the early stages of their academic careers and spark their interests; to prepare students for graduate school to create next generation of computer systems security researchers; to attract students from underrepresented groups to become researchers and computing professionals; and to attract students from institutions where they may not have the opportunity to participate in research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这笔资金恢复了本科生（REU）网站的研究经验，该网站着重于康涅狄格大学的嵌入式系统安全研究。在日常生活和工作的各个方面，大量的嵌入式设备及其广泛的用法使他们的安全漏洞比传统的软件漏洞更加危险和昂贵。学生将参加及时且在国家优先领域的研究项目。特定的活动包括电气和计算机工程部门以及计算机科学和工程部门的协作项目，包括实用量子通信，网络路由和通信安全性研究，安全移动计算，安全投票系统，神经形态系统安全性，嵌入式硬件身份验证，安全处理器架构，以及可证明的安全嵌入式嵌入式嵌入式系统。 一系列的研讨会将使学生获得特定于各种研究项目的知识以及研究生院所需的一般技能。此外，本科生将有机会参加专业会议。该项目的智力优点在于强大的研究团队以及对计算机系统安全的关注，这是国家需求和学生感兴趣的领域。学生将参与研究硬件和软件设计原理，计算机体系结构，可验证计算以及可靠计算系统的其他方面的研究计划。 REU网站项目的目标是在学术职业的早期阶段引入可信赖的计算系统研究工作，并引发他们的兴趣；为研究生院的学生做好准备，以创建下一代计算机系统安全研究人员；吸引来自代表性不足的团体的学生成为研究人员和计算专业人员；并吸引来自机构的学生可能没有机会参加研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被视为值得通过评估来获得支持。
