h) Completed projects

a) SECON: GENI Testbed Experimentation - funded by NSF

In this project, we will develop a prototype that provides new wireless networking features, namely (a) intentional named message delivery, (b) content-centric security solution. Our prototype will be deployed over two GENI testbeds, namely DOME and ORBIT. We intend to evaluate the performance of our prototype. More information can be found here

b) Secure Mobile Information System (SEMOIS) - funded by NSF

           In this project, we will design and evaluate incentive-based and social-aware based content dissemination strategies. We will also address some security issues. More information can be found here

c) IMF - funded by ARL

In this project, we develop software on mobile phones that allow solidiers to send secure context-based messages. Only authorized soldiers can decrypt the messages.

d) Resilient Context-Aware Smartgrid Control Network (RECAST)

5.Sensor-Based Medical Information System (SBMIS) -funded by PITA   (F. Fu)

In this project, we intend to build a small medical information system where senior citizens can wear cheap wireless sensor nodes that measure vital signs. The sensor data will be transmitted via wireless links to a PC that analyzes the data. Upon anomaly detection, the PC will send alert messages to physicians with summarized vital sign data attached.
