Projects

• Collaborative Virtual Lab (V-Lab) for Gene Analysis (2007)
  Building a virtual lab, named Collaborative Virtual Lab (V-Lab), by using recent advancement of Web 2.0 technology. V-Lab will provide virtual computing resources by using Amazon's EC2 and S3 services and workflow engine with user-friendly graphic workflow composer [BIBM07]. (Introduced in Nature's News and Tony Hey's talk) Prox It Prox It
  
  
• Big Red Portal (2007)
  A portal development for IU's Big Red super computer, including MEME job submission and job dashboard portlet [TeraGrid07].
  
  
• PRECIP
  Developing a method to protect private and confidential information against spyware surveillence [Precip08].
• NetSpy (2007)
  Developing anti-spyware architecture. This architecture can be used to defeat spyware activated through Browser Helper Object (BHO) or toolbar plug-ins of the Internet Explorer [Spyshield07].
  
  
• Packet Vaccine (2006)
  Developing network-based malicious packet detection system. This system can detect exploit code inside a packet by using a fast black-box method [Packet06][Packet07].
  
  
• Tamper-evident Signature Scheme (2005)
  Developing a tamper-evident signature scheme. We proposed a new signature scheme which is tamper-evident so that a user can decide whether a signer is corrupted or not [Sig06].
  
  
• Tamper-evident Mix Networks (2005)
  Designing a tamper-evident property in mix networks. Users of mix networks can easily detect any malicious attempt to tamper with mix-net servers [Mix06].
  
  
• Vehicular Network Protocol (2005)
  Designing a vehicular network protocol. Through the proposed protocol, we can achieve both auditability and privacy in vehicular networks [Veh05].
  
  
• Virtual Private Network (2004)
  Research on IPSec overheads for VPN servers [VPN05].
