Research
    - Computing and Communications

Led by Evangelos Kranakis

This project investigates efficiency and security of communication in networks. Research includes how network topology (e.g., connectivity, symmetry, etc.), information dissemination (e.g., broadcasting, routing, peer-to-peer, etc.) and network control (e.g., election, mutual exclusion, etc.) affect the network performance. Topics investigated include algorithmic techniques for searching, routing, broadcasting, web design and mobile agents. Security research is concerned with networked systems. Topics investigated include distributed firewalls, intrusion detection, security in routing, impact of security on network performance as well as new approaches to authentication management in wireless environments.
 

Participating researchers include:

Prof. Michel Barbeau

Prof. Danny Krizanc

Prof. Andrzej Pelc

Prof. Nicola Santoro

Prof. Paul Van Oorschot
