Projects Description

Secure Mobile Systems (Funded by NSF, IBM)

Survivability and secure communications are essential in a mobile computing environment. We propose to conduct a series of experiments that will lead to the development of new authentication and key management techniques for wireless communications. We study the implementation of various authentication schemes on the overall system performance. We propose a technique to achieve fault-tolerant mobile node authentication in an efficient way. We will evaluate how various secure group communication and access control techniques fit into the wireless world by conducting scientific experiments in a systematic way.

Network Security and Quality of Service (QoS) (Funded by ITR NSF, CERIAS, IBM)

We are doing research on monitoring network domains to ensure that the domain is not under attack by injecting execssive traffic or by violating service level agreements. The objective of this research is make a domain safe and provide quality of service to the users as it is agreed upon with the provider. For scalable network monitoring, our focus is to develop monitoring schemes that do not involve core routers in any measurement or poll the core routers for delay, loss, or bandwidth parameters. The misbehaving flows are detected and controlled by activating filters and shapers. Security is treated as a Quality of Service (QoS) parameter. Traffic Conditioner (TC) is an important part of Differentiated Services (DiffServ) networks. TC marks packets as IN or OUT profile or set the drop precedence. Based on this core routers give services to packets. There are several techniques for conditioning. TCP is a very conservative protocol and we can utilize some of it's features to develop a good TC. TC also should consider the current measured rate and target rate of an aggregated flow to set drop precedence. We explore several ideas to improve the performance of existing TC.

Web and Data Warehousing Security (Funded by CERIAS)

Data warehouse is an integrated repository derived from multiple source (operational and legacy) databases. The data warehouse is created by either replicating the different source data or transforming them to new representation. This process involves reading, cleaning, aggregating and storing the data in the warehouse model. The software tools are used to access the warehouse for strategic analysis, decision-making, marketing types of applications. It can be used for inventory control of shelf stock in many departmental stores.

We focus on the following ideas that can contribute towards warehouse security:
1. Replication control
2. Aggregation and Generalization
3. Exaggeration and Misleading
4. Anonymity
5. User Profile Based Security

This project aims at developing and implementing efficient authorization and access control mechanisms for web document and content of the document so that the legitimate users can access the right data. We plan to investigate user identification, authentication and access control as important security issue.  Mechanisms will be developed and implemented for both static and dynamic security.
