Security for Wireless Mobile Ad hoc Networks. Mobile ad hoc networks, a new emerging wireless networking paradigm, poses challenging problems in security, due to its dynamic nature and lack of centralised infrastructure, for which no adequate solutions exist today. This research addresses theory and design of secure mobile ad hoc networks.

Mobile ad hoc networks, a new emerging wireless networking paradigm, poses challenging problems in security, due to its dynamic nature and lack of centralised infrastructure, for which no adequate solutions exist today. This research addresses theory and design of secure mobile ad hoc networks. It achieves conceptual advances in terms of new security models for distributed location management, mobile authentication and multicasting; it proposes novel dynamic group key management and denial of service protection schemes, develops new security mechanisms for ad hoc routing, provides new insights into formal reasoning of security and demonstrates and evaluates practical secure wireless mobile applications.Read moreRead less
Security Techniques against Denial of Service Attacks in Networked Systems. As more and more business opportunities are created over the Internet, dealing with network-based intrusions and denial of service (DoS) attacks is becoming increasingly critical (as witnessed recently last year). The proposed research addresses systematically the theory and analysis of DoS attacks and develops new techniques and practical solutions to counteract them. We will investigate a hybrid method to counteract Do ....Security Techniques against Denial of Service Attacks in Networked Systems. As more and more business opportunities are created over the Internet, dealing with network-based intrusions and denial of service (DoS) attacks is becoming increasingly critical (as witnessed recently last year). The proposed research addresses systematically the theory and analysis of DoS attacks and develops new techniques and practical solutions to counteract them. We will investigate a hybrid method to counteract DoS, propose a new technique to identify malicious packets in the Internet to handle distributed DoS, consider a new approach using smart packets and develop enhancements to intrusion detection systems using data mining. Proposed techniques are analysed in practical situations.Read moreRead less
