Systems Assurance

Abstract

The Systems Assurance contract supported fundamental security and assurance research at the Center for Systems Assurance at Syracuse University. This research included intrusion detection mechanisms, software resilience, and steganography. The intrusion detection focused on packet filtering and intrusion sensing using programmable (smart) network interfaces, and buffer overflow detection and prevention. The Computational Resiliency project focused on novel applications of replication, migration, agreement protocols, and group communication to increase the assurance of scientific applications. The Protocol Steganography project defined a new model of information hiding in network flows. The project resulted in four software prototypes and a total of five refereed publications.
