Decoding Human Body Movement Project.
- Specification and simluation of new language for encoding human body movement.
- Integrate wireless sensor in detect and matching certain human body movement.
Secure Secure VOIP
- VOIP wiki
- open source VOIP software.
- help Philip Zimmermann (PGP desiger) in his project (for those interested and committed to work as master thesis/project).
  - He is using a VoIP client called shtoom, It's a VoIP client based on SIP, written
    mostly in Python, and is cross platform, running on Windows, Linux, and
    Mac OSX.
  - He is adding his crypto modules, turning it into a secure phone.
  - We can help by improving the stability and feature of Shtoom.
  - A set of related current software packages can be found in http://cs.uccs.edu/~cs526/svoip/src/.
Web Portal (Arun, Sujeeth, Austin)
- Jportal.
- SAKAI.
Study and improve wiki related software packages, such as Twiki.
Enhance Mutlpath Routing (Joseph).
- Improve Frank Watson's Linux Kernel Multipath Routing implemetnation.
- Port it to run on Windows. Study Window system source code and network implementatikon. (require longer term effor, more suitable for master/phd thesis/project)
- Study TCP-Westwood, TCP-PR, RON overlay network.
Network Processor-based Projects
- Improve the features and performance of Intel IXP1200 network processor-based content switch.
- We have an Intel IXP12EB evaluation board with which we have created a content switch system.
- Jayant Patil recently has a breakthrough in his secure web-based management interface for advanced IXP-based content switch.
- Student will learn about his work and related Realtime Embedded VxWork OS, Windriver Tonado IDE, IXP1200 network processor programming.
SCOLD, Secure Collective Internet Defense. http://cs.uccs.edu/~scold/
- Design the Public Key Infrastructure for secure communiations among components of a SCOLD consortium.
- Proxy server selection problem: pick and choose optimal subset of proxy servers.
  - Develop optimal algorithm with the following metrics: MaxFlow+DiverseRoute, MaxFlow with min subnet, MiniDelay between a client and a target server
  - Develop optimal algorithm for a set of clients (not just a client) and a target server.
- Integrate IDS with SCOLD coordinator.
Spyware evalation (Paul Box)
Evaluate and enhance Metaspolit.
Secure Web Service.
- Secure SOA: single sign-on, role delegate.
- WS standards.
Sensor Network for First Responders. http://cs.uccs.edu/~sgfr/ http://cs.uccs.edu/~frsn/
- Port Secure Groupware for First Responder (SGFR) to run on head mount device, IPAQ 5555.
- Enhance SGFR video monitoring and distribution capability.
- Interface with Crossbox sensor network.
- Deploying strategy for Crossbox sensors (pre-arranged and dynamic).
- Efficient sensor tracking algorithms for deciding the location and movement of sensors.
  - Devjani Sinha has been working on this topics as her master project.
    http://cs.uccs.edu/~chow/pub/master/dsinha/doc/proposal.doc
    She is extending TinyViz and Jeff Rupp's semester project to build a simulator for evaluating the effectiveness of the sensor tracking algorithms.
  - Jeff Rupp's project report is in http://cs.uccs.edu/~cs526/studentproj/projF2003/jdrupp/doc/
    The source code (Java-based single floor sensor tracking) is in http://cs.uccs.edu/~cs526/studentproj/projF2003/jdrupp/src
  - Jeff is currently working on the power efficient sensor clustering as his master thesis.
  - Ganesh Godvari, my graduate research assistant, has worked on stargate and PDA interface to sensor networks. You can read his report and presentation at http://cs.uccs.edu/~frsn/
- Enhance group key distribution in sensor network.
Secure Mobile Ad Hoc Network, http://cs.uccs.edu/~smanet/
- Design and Implement SAODV secure routing protocol.
- Detecting compromised node in mobile ad hoc network.
Seamingless Integration of content switch with LVS.
HA-LVS-Coda
HA-Secure Web Switch-Coda
Modify Apache with finer individual session control for Degrading DDoS defense.
Design and Implement IDIP (Intrusion Detection and Isolation Protocol) for pushing back intrusion.
Enhance iSCSI over MPLS/VPN network for disaster recovery in secure storage networks.
