Network Security

Page Content

Security becomes more complex when participating entities are physically separated from the current location; knowing who and what is communicating from a remote location complicates security decisions. Research in this area includes wireless computing, communication protocol design and verification, agent computation, quality-of-service protection, firewall design and testing, SCADA security, dynamic and protective routing, security for grid computing, and sensor net security.
