Securing Databases in Army MANETs

This US Army funded project deals with the security issues for mobile databases running on a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). It explores both state of the art commercial systems and advanced research issues for mobile security management. It will involve an extensive study of the commercial off-the-shelf technology that will identify the resources that can be used for addressing security issues in a MANET. Examples of other issues include data relocation/distribution and storage strategies for data confidentiality and fault tolerance, local agreement detection, secure update propagation, collaborative query processing, situation awareness and profile-based monitoring. This work will explore several advanced data analysis-based techniques for network traffic monitoring and outlier detection.
