Topics for Presentation on April 4

 

The goal for these presentations is to develop understanding of the following areas based on the recent developments:

 

  1. Operating systems – Windows/SELinux
  2. Privacy enhancing technology
  3. Digital rights management
  4. RBAC
  5. IPv6 Security
  6. Wireless/P2P security
  7. XML/Web Services Security

 

Each presentation will be 20 - 25 minutes. I would like each presentation to be done by two people. Each presentation group should either select at least one Journal paper or at least two conference paper (or equivalent). If you are doing labs in groups of two that should be the easiest way to form partners - you are free to form your group as you would like, otherwise.

 

Each student will evaluate all the presentations and that will constitute 80 Points. I will award the remaining 20 points.

 

I have attempted to provide some sample papers. If you prefer or have suggestions for other papers, please let me know. I would like to finalize papers and topics by tomorrow so that you can prepare.

 

Sample paper listings

 

Operating Systems

 

NSA site has some good resources related to Security guidelines. Of interest would be looking at security architecture, comparison, etc.

The site also has security related to other topics.

Some people are already working on IPv6. So I would prefer them to group together to present.

  

XML/Web Services Security

 

Wireless/P2P security
