Current Research & Instructional Projects:
Scholarship
for Service (SFS, aka CyberCorps),
National Science Foundation, $3,441,271, funded 2002-2009.
This
grant provides full-ride scholarships for undergraduate and graduate
students
working in Information Assurance. For more information see the SFS web page.
RADICL: a Reconfigurable Attack-Defend Instructional Computing Laboratory, National Science Foundation, $120,941, funded 2004-2008. This grant funded a student initiative to build a rapidly reconfigurable air-gapped network of computers for SFS attack-defend exercises and experiments. For more information see the RADICL web page.
Theoretical
Foundations of Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS),
DARPA, $2,339,995, 2003-2008. This
project defines multiple independent levels of secure communications by
partitioning the problem space into verifiably secure levels of control
spanning from a real-time partitioning kernel through secure CORBA
middleware and into battlegroup applications. For more
information see the MILS
web
page.
Assessing
the Security and Survivability of Transportation Control Networks,
U.S. Dept. of Transportation UTC Program, $260,751, 2002-2008. This
project shows how security and survivability principles can be applied
to the development of intelligent transportation systems. For
information on transportation research see the NIATT
web pages.
