Cyber Security is a growing field encompassing both confidentiality and integrity threats to computer and engineered systems and preserving privacy and anonymity. Research themes are secure and privacy-preserving operations in cyber-physical infrastructure and mobile systems, enterprise IT security, cloud, edge, and sensor security. The campus is a NSA/DHS Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance, primarily led by Computer Science with participation by Computer Engineering and the Computer Science curriculum maps to the National Initiative on Cybersecurity Education (NICE) standards. A graduate certificate in computer security is offered via streaming distance. This work is funded by NSF, NIST, AFRL, DOE, and some industrial support. The department leads a $3M Scholarship for Federal service grant and a Department of Education GAANN targeted on US Ph.D. student production. Additionally over $1.5M NSF funding is held by three faculty over three active projects.
