Presentation Transcript

  1. CDA6938/COT4932Special Topic: Research in Computer and Network Security (spring’06) Class Overview

  2. Tuesday/Thursday 4:30pm – 5:45pm • Office Hour: 2:30pm – 4:30pm • CSB223, czou@cs.ucf.edu • Class webpage: • http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~czou/CDA6938

  3. Why Am I Teaching This Course? • Computer and Network Security is important • A broad research/application issue • Impact on many important applications • Become more important as we rely heavily on computer and the Internet • Helpful to your study and future career: • If you plan to conduct computer security research related work • If you plan to conduct any research-related work • Help you to learn basic steps in conducting research

  4. A “Seminar” Course • Focus on cybersecurity-related research • Study research papers, publications • Students must have active roles: • Present papers in class • Be active in class discussion! • Be active to ask questions in class! • Not an introductory class on computer security • No lab experiments • No introduction on security appliance • However, you are not required to have knowledge of computer security beforehand

  5. Prerequisite • You must have knowledge of computer networking! • TCP/IP, packet, Internet (addr., DNS, routing…) • Basic knowledge on: • Probability (most research work uses this!) • Software (stack, system call…) • Operating system

  6. Class Grading Policy • Class presentations:                  20% • Homework (paper review/summary):      15% • In-class participation/discussion:    15% • Final term project:                   50% • Two students as a group

  7. Policy on COT4932 Students • Still get credit for COT4932 • Have a lower class requirement • Less in-depth research study • Paper presentation, homework • Term project does not need to contain novel idea • Survey of a topic • Realization of experiments in a published paper • Separate grading from CDA6938 students

  8. Topics Covered in Class • Focus mainly on wired Internet security • Internet worm, Internet security measurement • Honeypot, Spam, Denial-of-Service, Intrusion Detection • Network attack techniques • Will also cover: • host-based computer security • Software security • Wireless security • Sensor network security issues • Wireless LAN security • Emerging applications security issues: • RFID security and privacy • More to be added in the following two weeks

  9. Term Project • Two students form a group to do term project together • A research oriented term project • Project report in the same format as a paper for publish • Learn how to conduct research and write paper • Form the group and decide the title 6-8 weeks later

  10. Example of Term Project • Simple: • Survey of the state-of-art research work in a topic • Repeat and realize algorithm/experiments in a published paper • Middle: • Minor improvement of algorithms in published papers • Advanced: • Present a novel idea with support from simulation or real experiments • E.g., success in using an idea from the old area to a new topic • Has potential to be developed as a published paper

  11. What I know and Do not know • I know most research in Internet security • Especially on Internet worm research • I have some knowledge in: • Intrusion detection, software security • Wireless security • Hence the course will evolve as we go on • I will also learn from this course

  12. Class Format • Papers are grouped according to topics • As we move to a new topic, I will present a brief introduction • In each class, two students present two papers • Presentation: 25 min • Discussion: 10 min • My summary: 5 min (at the end)

  13. Next Class • I will present two papers of mine in the topic “Internet malware modeling and defense” • Give you an example on paper presentation • Show how to ask questions in reading a paper • Show how to find points to do further research • Please glance over these two papers before Thursday class • Come ready to ask questions and discuss
