CS 600:Advanced Algorithm Design and Implementation
Design, implementation, and asymptotic time and space analysis of advanced algorithms, as well as analyzing worst-case and average-case complexity of algorithms. Students will be expected to run experiments to test the actual performance of the algorithms on sample inputs. Introduction to NP-complete problems and approximation algorithms.

CS 665:Network Forensics
Network forensics involves the identification, preservation, and analysis of evidence of attacks in order to identify the attackers and document their activity with sufficient reliability to justify appropriate technological, business, and legal responses. This course, however, only focuses on the technological and not on the legal components of the topic. The emphasis is on the network traffic analysis aspect, not on the host aspect. The technical aspect addresses analysis of intruder types and the intrusion process, review of network traffic logs (pcap, flow records) and profiles and their types, identification of attack signatures and fingerprints, application of data mining techniques, study of various traceback methods, and the extraction of information (e.g. from malware, including botnet traffic) acquired through the use of network analysis tools and techniques. The class will not only cover the subjects in theory but instead also provide the students with an extensive hands-on experience. The class will involve a fair amount of programming. |

| | | Research | | My interests are in computer and network security, cryptography, anonymity, and privacy. In network security, my areas are in denial of service and malware (DDoS, botnets), and I have some interests in anti-phishing. For cryptography, I look at cryptographic aspects of malware, and have interests in verification of cryptographic protocols. |
