Nasir Memon |
Details: The objective of Phase 1 of this project is to develop the architecture of an anti-steganography system that much like a virus detector will be able to detect the presence of steganography in data entering and leaving a computer system.
In Phase 2 we will develop a commercial package for the detection of steganographyThe objective of Phase 1 of this project is to develop the architecture of an anti-steganography system that much like a virus detector will be able to detect the presence of steganography in data entering and leaving a computer system.

Digital Evidence Reassembly |
| Sponsor Name:
Digital Assembly, ATC-NY |
| Priniciple Investigator:
Nasir Memon |
Details: The problem of recovering deleted evidence from a variety of digital storage media arises routinely in digital forensics.
Researhers at Polytechnic have developed and patented a novel approach to reassembling fragmented digital evidence that does not rely on file table information but one that relies on the statistical properties of file contents themselves. The proposed approach can enhance disk analysis tools currently in use and make them robust againstf file table corruptions and certain anti-forensic tools.
The purpose of this project to develop a commercial tool for digital re-assembly in Incubator and in ATC-NT's Rome facility.

Network Abuse Detection and Control System |
| Sponsor Name:
TriNetra |
| Priniciple Investigator:
Nasir Memon |
|
Details: One of the growing problems faced by network administrators is the abuse of computing resources by authorized and unauthorized personnel. The nature of abuse may vary from using unauthorized applications to serving unauthorized content. Proliferation of peer-to-peer networks and wide use of tunnels makes it difficult to detect such abuses and easy to circumvent security policies. At Polytechnic we have developed system, called Nabs, which characterizes content types of network flows based solely on the payload which can then be used to identify abuses of computing resources. The proposed method does not depend on packet headers or other simple packet characteristics hence are more robust to circumvention. The purpose of this project is to develop a commercial grade version of the system. |

| Title:
Safe Browsing Through Web-based Application Communities |
| Sponsor Name:
Google, Inc. |
| Priniciple Investigator:
Angelos Keromytis |
|
Details: Application Communities is a new paradigm for protecting software systems. Community members running independent instances of the same application will continuously exchange information that allows them to collectively identify new faults and attacks (collaborative monitoring), and to automatically develop, test and apply fixes (heal). |

| Title:
Document Flows and Social Networks |
| Sponsor Name:
Symantec Corp |
| Priniciple Investigator:
Sal Stolfo |
|
Details: The goal of the research is to develop systems that explain the dynamic behavior of users within organizations, identify potential insider threats, and detect security policy violations such as the malicious exfiltration of sensitive information. The project involves the study and analysis of documents and their derivative versions flowing throughout an organization; software systems under development for mining patterns and modeling behavior in email flows will be extended in particular to perform profiling analytics for documents exchanged between users within a large scale organization. |

| Title:
Decoys for Spyware |
| Sponsor Name:
Symantec Corp |
| Priniciple Investigator:
Angelos Keromytis |
|
Details: Stealthy insertion of malware has become a significant security concern. This project will investigate the use of active deception techniques for detecting the presence of spyware such as keyloggers or network sniffers, and for tracking attacks that use insider information. The award initiates research in the NSL lab that has also been proposed to other agencies for joint support with Symantec. |
