Why Am I Teaching This Course?
Computer and Network Security is important
A broad research/application issue
Impact on many important applications
Become more important as we rely heavily on computer
and the Internet
Helpful to your study and future career:
If you plan to conduct security research related work
If you plan to conduct any research-related work
Help you to learn basic steps in conducting research
How to: Read paper? Find hole in paper? Find topic to do?
Make presentation? Conduct collaborated research?
3
A “Seminar” Course
Focus on cybersecurity-related research
Study research papers, publications
Students must have active roles:
Present papers in class
Be active in class discussion, ask questions!
Not an introductory class on computer security
Count in your grade!
No lab experiments
No introduction on security appliance or cryptography
However, you are not required to have much knowledge of
computer security beforehand
4
Prerequisite
You must have knowledge of computer
networking!
TCP/IP, packet, Internet (addr., DNS, routing…)
Basic knowledge on:
Probability (most research work uses this!)
Software (stack, system call…)
Operating system
5
Class Grading Policy
Class presentations:
20%
Homework (paper review/summary):
10%
In-class participation/discussion:
20%
Final term project:
50%
Two students as a group
Will use +/- grading system
6
Topics Covered in Class
Focus mainly on wired Internet security
Internet worm, Internet security measurement
Honeypot, Spam, Denial-of-Service, Intrusion Detection
Network attack techniques
Host-based computer security
Will also cover:
Wireless security
Software security, OS security
Sensor network security issues
Wireless LAN security
More papers to be added in the following two
weeks
7
Term Project
Two students form a group to do term
project together
A research oriented term project
Project report follows the same format as a paper
for publish
Learn how to conduct research and write paper
Form the group and decide the title 6-8
weeks later
8
Example of Term Project
Simple:
Middle:
Survey of the state-of-art research work in a topic
Repeat and realize algorithm/experiments in a
published paper
Minor improvement of algorithms in published papers
Advanced:
Present a novel idea with support from simulation or
real experiments
E.g., success in using an idea from another area to a new topic in
computer security
Has potential to be developed as a published paper
9
What I know and Do not know
I know most research in Internet security
Especially on Internet worm, botnet, modeling
I have some knowledge in:
Intrusion detection, software security
Wireless security
Hence the course will evolve as we go on
I will also learn from this course
10
Class Format
Papers are grouped according to topics
As we move to a new topic, usually I will present a
brief introduction
In each class, two students present two papers
Presentation: 25 min
Discussion: 10 min
My summary: 5 min (at the end if time allows)
Point out what you do right, wrong
Help you improve your paper reading, presentation skill
11
Next
I will give two presentations in this week
Objective:
“Internet malware modeling and defense”
“Modeling and Measuring Botnet”
Give you an example on paper presentation
Show how to ask questions in reading a paper
Show how to find points to do further research by
yourself
Come ready to ask questions and discuss
Remember, class discussion counts 20% of grade!
