Security Services for Stream-Oriented and Multicast-Based Communication. Multicast communication over lossy networks is becoming the basic for a growing number of aplications. It is therefore critical to provide sound security mechanisms for multicast communication. Yet, existing security protocols for multicast offer only partial solutions. This project is concerned with two major security problems of multicast communications: authentication and secrecy. The goal of this project is to: (1) deve ....Security Services for Stream-Oriented and Multicast-Based Communication. Multicast communication over lossy networks is becoming the basic for a growing number of aplications. It is therefore critical to provide sound security mechanisms for multicast communication. Yet, existing security protocols for multicast offer only partial solutions. This project is concerned with two major security problems of multicast communications: authentication and secrecy. The goal of this project is to: (1) develop a framework for analysis and evaluation of security services for multicast communication; (2) design efficient algorithms and protocols for securing emerging applications that are multicast-based and/or stream-oriented.

Information security and digital watermarking with Latin squares. The importance of digital information is increasing constantly. Audio, video, and still image data dominate our daily lives. Such information has commercial and strategic importance. It is invaluable in crime prevention: for example, video from security cameras. The protection of commercially valuable material against piracy and sensitive information against security breaches is vital to our economy and our safety. This project ad ....Information security and digital watermarking with Latin squares. The importance of digital information is increasing constantly. Audio, video, and still image data dominate our daily lives. Such information has commercial and strategic importance. It is invaluable in crime prevention: for example, video from security cameras. The protection of commercially valuable material against piracy and sensitive information against security breaches is vital to our economy and our safety. This project addresses these issues, by developing new, secure watermarks and fingerprints to protect digital information. Such watermarks can also protect radio communication channels, which is important due to the rising demand for wireless connectivity.Read moreRead less
