地点：蒙民伟504会议室 Abstract:
The last decades have witnessed the invention, development, and deployment of
provably-secure cryptographic primitives and protocols, which have
significantly improved cyber security (especially secure communication and
authentication). However, there are also significant gaps between what
cryptographic security can offer and what cyber security needs. In this talk,
we discuss such gaps. In particular, we observe that the gaps are mainly
caused by the fact that cyberspace is inevitably a very large-scale, networked
, complex (software) system that also keeps human in the loop. Should time
allows, we will beifly mention our initial research towards theoretical
modeling of cyber security.
BIO:
Shouhuai Xu is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science,
University of Texas at San Antonio. His research is primarily in making the
cyberspace more secure and trustworthy. He is especially interested in
mathematically modeling holistic cyber security and devising practical
mechanisms (including provably-secure cryptographic ones) for countering cyber
attacks. His research has been sponsored by AFOSR, ARO, NSF, and ONR. He
earned his PhD in Computer Science from Fudan University. Please refer to www.
