Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently released the Leadership in Embedded Security workshop report. The workshop was organized by former CCC Council Member Kevin Fu (University of Michigan), Wayne Burleson (UMass Amherst), and Farinaz Koushanfar (UC, San Diego). It brought together around fifty academics, industrial researchers, and government agency program managers who work close to the topic of embedded security. The workshop included deep dive group discussions as well as short visionary talks by several international speakers to lend perspectives on successful strategies for funding embedded security research overseas. The report, titled Grand Challenges for Embedded Security Research in a Connected World, focuses on the challenges and potential research opportunities across five […]

CCC @ AAAS 2020 – Detecting, Combating, and Identifying Dis and Mis-information

April 9th, 2020 / in AAAS, AI / by Khari Douglas

Over the last twenty years, the proliferation of Internet access, coupled with the explosion of online social networks, has allowed people around the world to share their ideas and experiences with the click of a button. Beauty vloggers craft YouTube tutorials, gamers stream their performances live over Twitch, and journalists share and source news from across the world through Twitter. This web of content is always expanding—much of the information within it is true, however, plenty of it is not. How can we determine fact from fiction in this rapidly shifting information landscape? In response to these emerging concerns the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) organized the Detecting, Combating, and Identifying […]

5G Security and Privacy – A Research Roadmap

April 1st, 2020 / in CCC-led white papers, Privacy, Security / by Khari Douglas

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) has released a white paper titled 5G Security and Privacy – A Research Roadmap. The white paper, written by CCC Council Member Elisa Bertino (Purdue University) with Syed Rafiul Hussain (Purdue University) and Omar Chowdhury (University of Iowa), aims to stimulate conversation around a research roadmap for the security of 5G-related technologies. From the abstract: “Cellular networks represent a critical infrastructure and their security is thus crucial. 5G – the latest generation of cellular networks – combines different technologies to increase capacity, reduce latency, and save energy. Due to its complexity and scale, however, ensuring its security is extremely challenging. In this white paper, we outline recent approaches […]
