If you'd like a shot at winning $100,000 and having your name and security solution announced by Facebook at Black Hat, then this contest might be for you.
"Facebook is pleased to invite submissions from university researchers and faculty, non-profit organizations, and NGOs for applied research proposals to improve the security, privacy, and safety of internet users. Our goal is to spur development of technology that may be applied in practice, rather than pure research, in a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
- Abuse detection and reporting
- Anti-phishing
- Post-password authentication
- Privacy preserving technologies
- Security for users in emerging markets
- User safety"
Applications need to be two pages or less. Here's the link to apply and learn more details.
And remember, if you learned about this content here on SecureWorld and you win, let us know so we can tell the InfoSec world about your great work!
