Researchers to Expand Child Exploitation Web-Crawler
June 02, 2014
Researchers in Simon Fraser University’s International Cybercrime Research Centre are expanding their Child Exploitation Network Extractor (CENE)—an online “web crawler” that identifies and tracks child exploitation networks online—to determine where networks are located.
They’ve secured a grant from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) through its inaugural Community Investment Program. It’s one of 28 projects shortlisted from 149 submissions to share more than $1 million in funding.
