As the internet has become vital to our day-to-day working and living, we are witnessing a remarkable upsurge in the incidents of malicious software or malware on it. This project aims to develop key technologies that can precisely model the malware propagation on the internet. The technologies will help develop effective defence against malware propagation at an early stage, with limited defence resources, so as to minimise the damage and provide a capability to identify and control malware spreaders. This project is significant as it can secure the internet that is essential to the daily work of Australian people, thus addresses a fundamental problem in safeguarding Australia by protecting our critical infrastructure.Read moreRead less
Classifying Internet traffic for security applications. As the internet traffic data exponentially increases every year, traffic classification has become a fundamental approach to the security of the Internet. This project aims to develop a set of novel techniques for internet traffic classification, which is fundamentally important to defend against the serious cyber-attacks and effectively minimise the damages. This project is significant as it can help to improve cyber security, which is ess ....Classifying Internet traffic for security applications.

This project aims to develop a set of novel techniques for internet traffic classification, which is fundamentally important to defend against the serious cyber-attacks and effectively minimise the damages. This project is significant as it can help to improve cyber security, which is essential for the work and daily lives of the Australian people. Furthermore, the proposed models and techniques will be important for enhancing the protection of Australian critical infrastructures against malicious cyber-attacks.Read moreRead less
