Abstract:

Students from Alan Sherman’s fall edition of CMSC-491/691 Cybersecurity Research (INSuRE) will present their research projects through talks and posters. In this project-based learning course, 18 students carried out original research projects, working collaboratively in three groups. Each group prepared a written report, poster, and presentation, guided in part by a technical director (TD) and other subject experts.

For more information about the INSuRE network of CAE-R universities, see their website ( https://caecommunity.org/initiative/insure ) and an article written by Sherman et al. ( IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine, July/August 2017, Vol. 15, Issue 4, pp. 72-78. ) The next UMBC edition of INSuRE will take place in fall 2024.
