Exploring Security Research Challenges: A Provocative Overview

This article discusses a myopic and subjective selection of security research topics, addressing areas like multicast security, DDoS measures, JAVA security, XML security, routing security, and more. The narrative delves into neglected and emerging issues in security research, including nano-cryptography, anonymity, group membership, policy development, SPAM countermeasures, and observability in wireless networks. The text concludes by touching on the ubiquity of home wireless networks. A thought-provoking read for those interested in the evolving landscape of security challenges.

  1. My $.02 on Research Challenges in Security Gene Tsudik SCONCE: Secure Computing and Networking Center UC Irvine http://sconce.ics.uci.edu/ 05/11/2004

  2. My (myopic, biased, subjective, self-centered and misguided) selection of topics that are:Beaten to death…or just tired • Multicast security • Especially group key management  • DDoS reactive measures, especially, IP traceback • JAVA security • XML security • Mixes and mixnets (for wired networks) • Routing security (BGP, OSPF, RIP!) • IPsec and kin • Fair exchange and kin • Covert channels (thanks, Virgil!) • Intrusion Detection • Neither beaten to death, nor tired; just not a research topic • Multi-Level Security

  3. My (myopic, biased, subjective, self-centered and misguided) View of Prominent Challenges • How to provably forget secrets? • Nano-cryptography and nano-security for constrained devices • Anonymity: voting, petitions, handshakes, reputation management • Casual Multicast • Publish/subscribe, sensor nets, manets, etc. • Group Membership: Distributed Admission and Eviction • P2P, MANETs, other collaborative settings • Policies, protocols • Effective DDoS resistance for web services • Puzzles ain’t it… • Could it be done at transport layer? • Effective SPAM countermeasures: SPAM = application-layer DDoS • We tolerate physical spam… sender pays, recycling works  • I could use, say, $.02 for each piece of spam in my mbox • Observability in wireless, ad hoc and sensor networks • Home wireless nets are becoming ubiquitous

  4. The end…Have I managed to upset everyone?
