CS 3110 Spring 2017 Lecture 25 : Course Review and Final Exam Coverage

Lecture 3: More reduction rules, the notion of Currying and Uncurrying, and typing rules for some of the constructs. A key signature idea of the ML family of languages is introduced, the polymorphic types which in this version of the course are written with both the standard OCaml syntax ‘a, ‘b, ‘c, ... and with Greek letters as in the original articles on ML, e.g. α, β, γ, .... It would be goo...

A novel key management scheme for heterogeneous sensor networks based on the position of nodes

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. Regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. A basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in WSNs, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...

An Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks

The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...

Using Security Checklists and Scorecards in CS Curriculum

Industry has recognized that creating secure systems requires incorporating security concepts throughout the software development lifecycle. A similar effort is required in education, integrating security best practices and risk management into the curriculum. At Towson University, we are developing and implementing a model to thread security throughout our computer science curriculum. Key to o...
