Project Guidelines
Students are expected to undertake a semester long research project related to information assurance. You should work with the instructor (through email or meeting) to choose a project topic. You should form teams of 2 students for projects (you can also make a team of 3, but then the expectations will be higher).
Project objective: For your project, you need to pick one (or multiple related papers) from a top-tier security conference, published during the past three years. You need to re-implement some of the experiments of the paper and compare the results to the original paper. Additionally, you may perform follow up experiments not done by the original paper.
Notes:Deadlines
- Introduction day (Feb 12): Present your project idea in class (in 2-3 mins) and get feedback from the instructor and students.
- Project proposal due (Feb 15): Submit a 1-page project proposal on Moodle; it should include team members' names, the paper(s) you have chosen, and a summary of your plans and objectives.
- Project presenation (During the last two weeks of class): Each team should present their project at the end of the semester (about 15 minutes).
- Final report (May 8): At the end of the semester, each team should submit a report for the project, formated in double-column ACM format. The page limit is 6 pages.
