Birds of a Feather - Sharing Cybersecurity Research Artifacts to Accelerate Progress

Explore the development of an open-access, community collaboration hub for sharing and reusing cybersecurity research artifacts in this 37-minute IEEE conference talk. Learn about the NSF-funded Sharing Expertise and Artifacts for Reuse through Cybersecurity Community Hub (SEARCCH) project, which aims to simplify the process of packaging and sharing experiment designs, code, data, and other research artifacts. Discover how the proposed hub can help researchers quickly find relevant artifacts to accelerate their work and improve results. Participate in the Birds of a Feather (BoF) session, where the strawman SEARCCH sharing hub is unveiled, and provide feedback to shape its development. Gain insights into various aspects of the hub, including search functionality, artifact integrity, author reputation, curation processes, and future plans. Understand how this initiative can enhance sharing, reproducibility, repeatability, and reuse across the cybersecurity research community.
