Proposal #: CNS 07-22856PI(s): Fu, Xinwen; Graham, Steven; Halverson, Thomas; Streff, KevinInstitution: Dakota State University Madison, SD 57042-1799Title: MRI/Acq.: An Information Assurance Infrastructure for Research and Education at DSUProject Proposed:This project, acquiring computing devices for storing and analyzing collected data to be used for information assurance (mainly, traffic analysis for anonymity research), addresses issues requiring extensive simulation, precise timing control and measurement of network traffic, and large amounts of data and data analysis. The equipment supports projects that address issues critical to the nation's security, including:. Degradation of Anonymous Protocols and Countermeasures,. Improving Quality of Service (QoS) of TCP-based Anonymous Communication, and. Anonymity Constrained QoS Routing in the Tor Anonymous Communication Network.The project, based on previous work that systematically studies traffic analysis attacks in flow-based anonymous communication systems, involves unifying different metrics for measuring anonymity. The QoS research utilizes previous work in investigating Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) performance theoretically and experimentally in flow based anonymous communication systems. Since systems can ignore characteristics of TCP traffic, deployed anonymous systems such as Tor suffer from severe throughput degradation. (Tor's server loading strategies tend to produce bottlenecks.)Broader Impacts: Enhancing information assurance research and education, the infrastructure contributes to integrate security and privacy research into the curriculum. New courses on privacy, anonymous communications, and traffic analysis are under development. The work also promotes close ties with regional industry, mainly in banking and health care. Other universities in the states, including those serving Native Americans, will benefit.

提案号：CNS 07-22856PI(s)：付新文；格雷厄姆,史蒂文。霍尔沃森,托马斯;机构：达科他州立大学麦迪逊分校，SD 57042-1799标题：MRI/Acq。项目建议：本项目获取用于存储和分析收集数据的计算设备，用于信息保障（主要是匿名研究的流量分析），解决需要广泛模拟，精确定时控制和测量网络流量以及大量数据和数据分析的问题。该设备支持解决对国家安全至关重要的项目，包括：匿名协议的退化与对策。提高基于tcp匿名通信的服务质量（QoS）；Tor匿名通信网络中的匿名约束QoS路由。该项目基于先前系统研究基于流量的匿名通信系统中的流量分析攻击的工作，涉及统一衡量匿名性的不同指标。QoS研究利用了先前在基于流的匿名通信系统中研究传输控制协议（TCP）性能的理论和实验工作。由于系统可以忽略TCP通信的特征，部署的匿名系统（如Tor）遭受严重的吞吐量下降。（Tor的服务器加载策略往往会产生瓶颈。）更广泛的影响：加强信息保障研究和教育，基础设施有助于将安全和隐私研究整合到课程中。有关隐私、匿名通信和流量分析的新课程正在开发中。这项工作还促进了与区域工业，主要是银行业和保健业的密切联系。其他州的大学，包括那些为印第安人服务的大学，都将从中受益。
