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 published
paper
• At least 6 pages (double column, single spaced, 11 point font)
– Learn how to conduct research and write paper
– Learn how to communicate and collaborate with your
colleague

Timeline for Term Project
• Try to find your partner NOW and discuss
what topic to work on
– Check top security conferences webpage, look
for “advanced program” or “technical program”
– Find the session titles--- they are research topics
in computer security
– Select a topic you are interested and
comfortable and familiar

Example of Term Project
• Simple:
– Survey of the state-of-art research work in a topic
• You can find many survey papers as your reference
– Repeat and realize algorithm/experiments in a published
paper chosen by you
• You will need to program and compare your results with the paper’s
• Middle:
– Minor improvement of algorithms in published papers
• You will need to prove that your improvement works
– Either mathematical proof, or simulation proof
– Present a novel idea, but with no substantial proof

Example of Term Project
• 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 an academic
publishable paper
