Sencun ZhuPennsylvania State University0643906CAREER: Combating Worm Propagation in Emergent NetworksPanel ID: 070111AbstractWorms have emerged as one of the leading threats to ourinformation systems and critical infrastructures. Despite thetremendous research effort in combating worms, new computer andsystem vulnerabilities are continuously reported and new wormattacks keep succeeding. Another significant trend in worm attacksis that the number of worm attacks against emergent networks, suchas P2P networks, cellphone networks, and sensor networks, israpidly growing. Because of the unique communication models and/orresource constraints of the emergent networks, most of theexisting solutions for Internet worm defenses are not directlyapplicable.The objective of this project is to combat worm propagation inthese emergent networks. Specifically, various approaches aredesigned for rapidly distributing security patches to P2P nodesinfected by worms propagating via file sharing applications andtopological scanning. Also, both device and network sides defensesare used to contain cellphone worms that propagate through eithermultimedia messaging services or Bluetooth interfaces. Finally, itincludes mechanisms to confine worms that propagate by exploitingthe monoculture of sensor programs in sensor networks. Theproposed research will provide fundamental services and tools tocombat worms in emergent networks. It draws upon a variety oftopics including cryptography, graph theory (graph coloring,percolation theory, partition, dominating set), system (mobilesystems), networking (P2P, cellular network, sensor network) andstatistics. The results of the project will be disseminated widelythrough publications and talks, and the proposed research willalso be integrated with the education curricula.

Sencun Zhu宾夕法尼亚州立大学0643906职业：在紧急网络中对抗蠕虫传播Panel ID：070111摘要蠕虫已经成为我们信息系统和关键基础设施的主要威胁之一。尽管在对抗蠕虫的研究上付出了巨大的努力，但新的计算机和系统漏洞不断被报道，新的蠕虫攻击不断成功。蠕虫攻击的另一个重要趋势是，针对新兴网络（如P2P网络、手机网络和传感器网络）的蠕虫攻击数量正在迅速增长。由于新兴网络独特的通信模式和/或资源限制，现有的大多数网络蠕虫防御方案并不直接适用，本项目的目标是对抗蠕虫在新兴网络中的传播。具体而言，各种方法被设计用于快速分发安全补丁到被通过文件共享应用程序和拓扑扫描传播的蠕虫感染的P2P节点。此外，设备和网络端防御都用于遏制通过多媒体消息服务或蓝牙接口传播的手机蠕虫。最后，它包括机制，以限制蠕虫的传播，利用传感器网络中的传感器程序的单一文化。该研究将为应对突发网络中的蠕虫提供基础服务和工具。它借鉴了各种各样的主题，包括密码学，图论（图着色，渗透理论，分区，支配集），系统（移动系统），网络（P2P，蜂窝网络，传感器网络）和统计学。该项目的成果将通过出版物和讲座广泛传播，拟议的研究也将纳入教育课程。
