New grants Ehab Al-Shaer received the following grants from NSF “Investigations of Next-generation Network Reconnaissance Attack Techniques and Limitations .” This goal of this project is to investigate next-generation network attack reconnaissance techniques, and explore the limitation for existing defenses. “Global Verification and Dynamic Optimization of Network Security Polices.” Traffic access control polices play a critical role in the security and performance of computer networks. This proposal presents a theoretical foundation and practical techniques to study of the impact of policies on network security and performance. This project proposes to develop a framework to validate end-to-end security properties across different security devices. “ConfVeal: Automated Testing of Security Configuration Enforcement in Distributed Networks.” This research will investigate fundamental issues related to security devices quality assurance. This is important for vendors, government and general consumers. We believe that our proposed research agenda will promote deployment new ecient techniques for access control conguration testing by vendors. 2009 Eight Hour Start up Competition Five teams made-up of students from UNC Charlotte’s College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) competed in the second annual 8-Hour Start-Up Competition on Friday, November 13th. After a grueling day of competition, the team of Joshua Schroeder, Antoine Campbell, and Thomas Phifer came out victorious. Special thanks goes to Alumni (and judge) Paul Bates and John Lucas for their generous donations. "The 8-Hour Startup Competition was a great experience! It was great having people from Microsoft, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and other places in the IT industry be the judges. I learned a lot about programming for the web and what I am capable of in 8-hours." – Thomas Phifer- Students were asked to design a travel business that integrated airline booking, hotel reservations, and event search at popular destinations. The competition is an innovative approach to connect students with prospective employers in the Charlotte area. It is designed to demonstrate students' ability to take on a challenging, real-world problem by building a working prototype of a web application that solves the problem in 8-hours. Students must also present to a panel of judges, comprised of faculty and industry affiliates, to convince them that their project should be funded. Students could either use Microsoft .NET, Java, or LAMP to construct the prototype. Criteria include functionality, security, and usability.
