Xun Wang @ CSE/OSU

I am a Ph.D. student of Dr. Dong Xuan. My research focuses on network security.

Research Topics

· Active worms: Smart active worms which aim to camouflage themselves from detection systems; detection of active worms.

· DDoS attacks: Intelligent DDoS attacks which leverage the mechanisms of application systems and defense systems; defense against intelligent DDoS attacks.

· Overlay networks: DDoS attacks, worm attack and pollution in overlay systems.

· Sensor networks: Various types of physical attacks in wireless sensor networks; lifetime optimization of sensor networks.
