1/3
CS549 Computer and Network Security
Class Project
The class project is a 10 to 15-page research paper. The paper should be in postscript or pdf orhtml along with presentation slides. The paper should examine issues or technologies in
computer or network security. Typically, your report might be organized as follows:
1. Abstract
2. Introduction -- background information, literature search, scope and limitations of
project
3. Body-- methods used
4. Analysis and conclusions
5. Recommendations -- future work, unsolved problems
6. References -- journals, WWW references
The paper will be graded on quality of research, quality of presentation, and strength of
references. Original research counts more than a critical review which counts more than a mere
survey paper. Actually implementing and testing things counts more than reporting on someone
else's experiments/results.
A list of possible topics follows, but you may suggest your own. A good topic would be one where
you could contrast various solutions to a common problem. It is possible to propose an
implementation project, and a few are listed below, but a 5 to 10 page paper is still required along
with your software/hardware deliverable, and you must schedule a demo (out of class). It is
expected that students will workin groups of 2 or alone on their project. The instructor must
approve your topic.
