Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cyberspace
Funds NSF's flagship cybersecurity research — up to $1.2 million a project from a $60 million pool, across four directorates.
SaTC 2.0 is NSF's main cybersecurity research programme, and its framing is broader than security engineering. Cyberspace has become an ecosystem of hardware, software, networks, data, people, organisations, countries and the physical world, and health, government, commerce, infrastructure, education and transport all now depend on it.
The programme's stated goal is trust, defined widely: confide…
Security, privacy and trust across the cyber ecosystem — vulnerabilities and how to address them, the social and technical dimensions of trust in cyber systems, public awareness of cyber risk, and the pipeline of privacy and security professionals. Spans computing, mathematics, the social sciences and STEM education.
