Dates:_* May 21 through July 13, 2007

*_Program:_** *The NSA funded Information Assurance Program, US 
Department of Education
funded MSEIP Program, and NSF-Funded Talent 21 Program at North Carolina 
A&T State
University are jointly hosting an eight-week summer research program in 
Information
Assurance and security for qualified undergraduate science, mathematics, 
engineering,
business, social science and technology majors. The program engages 
students in
investigative research projects involving e-commerce security, firewall 
and network
auditing, cryptography, virtual private networks, and digital forensics.

Information Assurance summer REU participants will be assigned to a 
faculty mentor
in the project team listed below and become fully integrated into active 
research
environment, interacting with a team of researchers in computer science, 
mathematics,
business, criminal justice, and electrical engineering as well as using 
state-of-the-art
cyber security research facilities. The interdisciplinary nature of the 
projects and the team
will afford participants the opportunity to experience first-hand the 
interrelatedness
of scientific research. Participants will work with their faculty 
mentors, attend preparatory
seminars and workshops, gain both heads-on and hands-on experience, and 
present
their research results at the close of the program. In addition, 
participants will have the
opportunity to interact with other student researchers of the*
SPGRE Program at UNC-Chapel Hill.*

The research projects that have been identified for participants? 
involvement include:

   * E-Commerce Security and Network Auditing- web application and
     business enterprise secuurity
   * Computer forensic tools , their usage, access and control
   * Network Security Tools - Firewalls, and Intrusion Detection
     Systems (IDS)
   * Cryptography ? NTRU and hyperelliptic curve cryptosystem on small
     devices

   * Threats to Virtual Private Networks in wireless environments

Projects will be undertaken in a team approach. Each team comprised of two
students and directed by a faculty mentor will choose a research project 
involving
one or a combination or variation of the above topics. Each team will 
work together
to plan, execute, and complete their research project and to produce a 
written
report, prepare and present a poster and an oral presentation at the end 
of the
program.
