CIPIAF Fellows Final Report

Abstract

Florida Tech hired two Fellows for two years under the CIPIAF program. They acted as co-Principal Investigators working with Dr. James Whittaker in the areas of (1) statistical methods for intrusion detection and (2) automatic methods for hostile data stream testing. Our findings were successful in both projects. Dr. Kamel Rekab was the Principal on the first project and his results showed that attack traffic possesses a strong statistical signature and logistic regression analysis can be used to distinguish between legitimate - and attack traffic. Dr. -Rekab has been retained as a full faculty in our department to continue this research. Dr. Alan Jorgensen was the Principal on the second project and used his technique to find a zero-day exploit in Macromedia Flash. He subsequently received funding from Macromedia and is currently working as a private consultant using his techniques on behalf of a number of software vendors.
