5984: Trust and Security. This course discusses and explores the relation between trust and security, how trust can be used to enhance security, and how trust can be used to implement security in certain applications. The example trust systems include mobile ad hoc networks, delay tolerant networks, wireless sensor networks, service oriented computing, cloud computing, social networks, IoT networks, and heterogeneous mobile networks.

Topics to be Covered (Tentative)

Students will learn concepts, definitions, and protocol designs for trust management. Students will analyze recently published work and apply what they learned to design, build, and evaluate trust-based solutions to enhance or implement security. Students will demonstrate synthesis and technical writing skills by producing "near publishable" term papers extending existing solutions or developing new ones.

Signed ______________________________________________________
The term paper is due at the specified deadline. A late term paper turned in will be penalized 20% off for each day late.
Each student will choose a paper from the paper list to present. During the presentation period, no absence is allowed. Participation will be counted toward your grade. Each student must prepare a PowerPoint file for the paper to be presented.
