IU-led Trusted CI has been building a reservoir of success for nearly a decade.
How does a research institution develop cybersecure computing for university researchers, move research data faster but securely around the world, or track and protect endangered species while also keeping them safe from poachers?
IU-led Trusted CI has solved these problems and more for some 60 engagements funded by the NSF. Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence since 2016, is uniquely positioned to advise the open-science community in the face of increasing cybersecurity attacks. Via ransomware and other destructive cybersecurity exploits, university communities can lose money, productivity, and research data, and suffer reputational hits.
In 2020, Trusted CI began reaching out to its community, gathering the impacts of its engagements, and summarizing them into Trusted CI success stories.

3D tracking can pinpoint locations more accurately than GPS.
The Crisis Technologies Innovation Lab in PTI at IU has been awarded $8 million to help create life-saving technologies for first responders. The lab will host competitions in the pursuit of indoor 3D tracking aimed at locating first responders during emergencies. 3D tracking can pinpoint locations within a few meters, whereas GPS cannot identify what room a person is in nor ascertain elevation in buildings.
Competitors’ innovations will be tested and judged at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Edinburgh, Indiana, which includes 190 structures and more than 1.8 miles of tunnels on 1,000 acres. Entrants with the most success in the most environments will be awarded prize money from the initial $8 million to further develop their technology.
