This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, totaling $439,273, supports the development of cybersecurity tools and techniques to enhance the security of modern software programming cyberinfrastructure. Funded from November 2021 through September 2022, the University of Notre Dame aims to create an AI-based solution called ITRUSTSO to automatically identify insecure code snippets on Stack Overflow, construct a model of the interplay between GitHub and Stack Overflow to build a predictive model called ITRUSTGH for detecting malicious codes on GitHub, and develop a user-friendly tool called SCITRUST to strengthen code security for software development. Broader impacts include benefits to scientific communities through more efficient yet secure cyber-enabled software development, as well as establishing a cybersecurity lab and integrating research with education activities to increase participation in the newly-established cybersecurity degree program.
