Research Project RequirementsThe course project in 8019UG & 6697PG requires students to demonstrate an in-depthunderstanding of some important aspect of Computer and Network Security and/or networkprotocol security. Project accounts for 50% of the final grade for the course, and thus shouldrepresent a month or so of research effort. Projects are to be done in group with minimumstudent 3 and maximum 5.The project must take the form of a research paper, similar to those found in the publishedcomputer and network security literature such as IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy(S & P), NDSS, USENIX Security, and CCS. (Of course, there is no requirement that yourpaper be publishable!) The research paper should present your own (novel) research resultson a relevant network security problems. Results must be obtained analytically, throughsimulation, or experimentally through measurement of an existing system orimplementation. The paper must be 7-9 pages in length, including abstract, figures, tables,and bibliography. Use a reasonable word processing package, a readable font size (10 TimesNew Roman, and double-column formatting. Papers must be submitted using an Urkundtext matching.A lot of background reading may be required to do a good research paper on a given topic,and should be reflected in your bibliography. Note, however, that it is NOT sufficient to dojust a SURVEY PAPER. Creativity, originality, and your own contribution are alsorequired. This may involve applying previously known approaches to new network datasecurity or scenarios, or applying new approaches or analyses to previously studied data orscenarios, or new approaches to new problems entirely.Topics of your own choosing are preferred, but if you need ideas, I can offer severalsuggestions, and point you to relevant literature. Several possible project ideas are includedbelow. In any event, put your thinking caps on, and discuss your idea(s) with me as soon aspossible using any online way such as virtual room.DeadlinesThe timetable for project requirements is as follows:• Due by Tuesday (02/11/2021) at 1:00pm: Submit completed research paper in wordformat using Canvas online submission. Projects involving significant implementation effortcan be accompanied by a demo, if appropriate, also can submit using Canvas system.•Late Submission: Late submission of your project will result in a penalty of 10% reducedmarks from the total available, per calendar day late. Project submitted over 7 days latewill not be accepted.•Submission using online Text-Matching on Canvas system.Project SuggestionsSecurity of:• Optical internets• Internet of Things (IoT)• Industrial IoT• Wireless mesh networking• Network security• Network intrusion detection• Grid computing• Electronic commerce• Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking• Hybrid wireless/cellular networks• Sensor networks
