Deployment of large numbers of ubiquitous wireless communication devices, and distributed databases offers new opportunities and challenges. In this paradigm, users may use their cellphones or PDAs to form impromptu networks. They will authenticate themselves to each other using their biometric traits, and access information gathered by a network of sensors and stored on distributed databases across conventional and new types of networks. The proposed research will address security issues in such a paradigm. It is comprised of the study of problems in three main areas of secure, distributed database and information systems. First, we are interested in security issues related to how information is gathered in distributed systems such as sensor and ad hoc networks. Second, we will examine how information is stored and retrieved securely over distributed databases.  Third, we will study the use of biometric cryptosystems and resource constraint devices for secure information access.

大量无处不在的无线通信设备和分布式数据库的部署提供了新的机遇和挑战。在这个范例中，用户可以使用他们的手机或PDA来形成即兴网络。他们将使用自己的生物特征相互认证，并访问传感器网络收集的信息，这些信息存储在传统和新型网络的分布式数据库中。拟议的研究将解决这种范式中的安全问题。它包括安全，分布式数据库和信息系统三个主要领域的问题的研究。首先，我们感兴趣的是如何在分布式系统，如传感器和ad hoc网络中收集信息的安全问题。其次，我们将研究如何在分布式数据库上安全地存储和检索信息。第三，我们将研究使用生物特征密码系统和资源限制设备来安全地访问信息。
