Information Security and Assurance Center 9

Ongoing Research• Dependable Information

Communication System (DICS) in Disaster Management

• DICS provides and maintains vital communication between the mass, physical environment, emergency agencies.

• DICS is formed by three Tiers: sustainable wireless sensor networks, fault-tolerant wireless ad hoc network and redundant network connectivity.

Information Security and Assurance Center 10

Ongoing Research• Total Municipal

Awareness System (TMAS): Local Version

• TMAS is designed to address communication weakness and vulnerabilities demonstrated in Hurricane Katrina.

• Built on top of Google Map, TMAS supports timely and reliable emergency modeling and communication.

Information Security and Assurance Center 11

Ongoing Research

• SecCMP: A Secure Chip-Multiprocessor Architecture– SecCMP handles security related problems such as key

protection and core authentication in multi-core systems.– Integrated with identity based cryptography, the SecCMP

provides a secure and reliable way to generate and distribute encryption keys between local host and remote site when prior distribution of keys is not available.

• Fine-grained Reputation-based Routing in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs)– MANETs can support applications in a variety of areas like

emergency assistance and inter-vehicle communications. – Reputation and trust management are integrated into routing

protocols in MANETs in order to improve reliability in both route discovery and maintenance in MANETs
