The theme of our research is to monitor, diagnose, and secure the Cyberspace, for various applications, software, services, and systems. The Cyberspace has become the most important infrastructure of the society. However, as the Cyberspace has evolved it has become increasingly complex and vulnerable. To address these problems, over the past few years we have increasingly focused on Cyberspace Security problems, in particular, intrusion detection, cloud infrastructure, penetration testing, and those arising in emerging and challenging environments.
Our research methodology is the combination of theory, synthetic/real trace driven simulation, and real-world implementation and deployment. We draw from diverse fields of applied mathematics, such as combinatorial algorithms, linear algebra and statistical learning as needed to better understand the design space structure. To get access to the real Internet measurement (often proprietary), we have been actively collaborating with researchers from various places, such as AT&T Labs, Motorola Labs, Yahoo!, Keynote, Microsoft Research, Fermi National Labs, National Laboratory for Applied Network Research (NLANR), and the Internet Storm Center of the SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) Institute.
