Laboratory for network security with automatic mitigation of disruptive traffic, attack containment, and intrusion detection

这个最先进的实验室支持题为“网络安全与自动缓解破坏性流量，攻击遏制和入侵检测”的研究计划。“这个实验室为研究生提供了一个安全和可控的环境来测试网络安全解决方案。特别是，这个实验室有一个无线组件，其中通信信道是以秘密和不可检测的方式建立的。这些通信的侧通道代表了隐藏的信息交换的手段，结果不可见的网络流量监视器和窃听设备。在这个实验室中，研究生还进行创新范例的研究，以检测，减轻或阻止恶意代码的传播，如病毒和蠕虫，感染网络设备和主机计算机。真实的病毒和蠕虫是在受控的情况下释放的，这些情况允许剖析精心制作的攻击，包括多态和加密的数据包。这个实验室代表了保护加拿大网络基础设施的重要设置，并直接影响到任何使用互联网的计算机应用程序，如医疗保健，电话，Web交易，救援行动和紧急响应程序。

This state-of-the-art laboratory supports the Research Program entitled "Network Security with Automatic Mitigation of Disruptive Traffic, Attack Containment, and Intrusion Detection." This laboratory provides graduate students with a secure and controlled environment to test network security solutions. In particular, this laboratory has a wireless component where communication channels are set up in a secret and undetectable fashion. These side-channels of communication represent the means for concealed exchange of information that results invisible to network traffic monitors and tapping devices.In this laboratory, graduate students also conduct research on innovative paradigms to detect, mitigate, or stop the propagation of malicious code such as viruses and worms, which infect network equipment and host computers. Real viruses and worms are unleashed within controlled scenarios that allow the dissection of cleverly crafted attacks including polymorphic and encrypted packets.This laboratory represents an important setting toward the protection of the Canadian network infrastructures, and impact directly on any computer application that makes use of the Internet such as health care, telephony, Web transactions, rescue operations, and emergency response procedures.
