Efficient and secure data integrity auditing on cloud. Data auditing presents a promising way for verifying user data integrity on cloud, i.e., whether user privacy sensitive data such as identity information on cloud is modified or lost. Current auditing approaches lack sufficient efficiency and security. This results in that they cannot provide timely warning and precaution on potential data loss threats. This project aims to systematically investigate this significant challenge and expects to ....Efficient and secure data integrity auditing on cloud. Data auditing presents a promising way for verifying user data integrity on cloud, i.e., whether user privacy sensitive data such as identity information on cloud is modified or lost. Current auditing approaches lack sufficient efficiency and security. This results in that they cannot provide timely warning and precaution on potential data loss threats. This project aims to systematically investigate this significant challenge and expects to establish innovative research and solutions for enabling efficient and secure data integrity auditing on cloud. The project outcomes will help to safeguard Australian community in fast-growing cyber world, and benefit to fast-growing user privacy sensitive data hosting and applications on cloud.Read moreRead less

Modelling, Measurement and Control of the Internet. The demands made of modern high-speed data networks, such as those that make up the Internet, are increasing rapidly in terms of both the quantity and quality of service required.
So that these demands can be satisfied, it is necessary that network operators, or even the network itself, take measurements and make control decisions. Depending on the service, there is a need to do this over very short timescales (fractions of a second), or lon ....Modelling, Measurement and Control of the Internet. The demands made of modern high-speed data networks, such as those that make up the Internet, are increasing rapidly in terms of both the quantity and quality of service required.
So that these demands can be satisfied, it is necessary that network operators, or even the network itself, take measurements and make control decisions. Depending on the service, there is a need to do this over very short timescales (fractions of a second), or longer
timescales (minutes or even weeks).
By developing innovative mathematical models of network behaviour,
this project will deliver improved methods for measurement and
control of the Internet.Read moreRead less

Optical-OFDM provides Australia with an opportunity to develop a new, high-tech, easy-to-export technology with a very large market potential spanning three key communications markets: wireless personal-area networks, local-area networks and long-haul (80-4000 km) optical networks. It is based on innovative Australian technology generated from two research strengths: photonics and OFDM. OFDM is already the basis of most non-optical broadband systems, including digital broadcasting and ADSL. Patent applications have been filed. One application enables bandwidths to rural and remote communities to be quadrupled without laying new cables. By launching off this local market Australian industry can develop a world leading industry.Read moreRead less
