The practice of the "security of science" aims to approach knowledge discovery in the field of cybersecurity in a way that validates predictions though logic or repeatable empirical experiments. Science of security emphasizes the methodology of research in cyber-security as much as the results of that research. Science of security is broad in its application, including development of mathematical models about which properties can be proven and/or predictions made, as well as empirical research that poses hypotheses that are tested by measurement and analysis.

The Information Trust Institute (ITI) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, part of the NSA Science of Security Lablet program, invites applications for a unique research experience for undergraduates. Selected applicants will spend eight weeks at ITI pursuing a research program of their own design, under the mentorship of ITI faculty and/or staff. The objective will be to advance research, which will be presented in a poster session at the 2016 HotSoS Science of Security Symposium. In addition to the research, the summer internship program will include visits to companies to learn about the issues and practice of cyber-security in the real world.

The program selection committee will select participants based on academic record and a 5-page proposal outlining the proposed research project. Selected applicants will have lodging provided and receive a stipend and meal allowance.

Program dates: June 1 - July 24 (subject to change)
