Welcome to The Sunflower Networking Group at Kansas State University!
This group is comprised of two faculty members and several students of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department who perform research in networking or related areas. Our goals are to conduct theoretical research in the emerging areas as well as apply optimal networking solutions to current and future realistic problems. General areas of interest include network science, network robustness, networking protocols, architectures, modeling and analysis, security, and network measurement.

Ben McBride, former SNG member, will present the ECE Graduate Seminar on "Tamper Resistant Software"
Thursday, November 19, 2009 3:30 p.m. Rathbone Hall 1052
Abstract
Anti‐tamper software techniques are designed to protect trusted code while running in a hostile environment. Proper design of anti‐tamper code, however, requires proper defense of all points in the system. A potential attacker, in contrast has the luxury of focusing attention and resources at a single point. This talk describes a case study of one anti‐tamper system — a system designed to be secure and well‐defended against many attacks but which was actually vulnerable in areas never considered by the designers. This talk will describe the software’s protection mechanisms and the solutions implemented to evade them.
Bio
Ben McBride received his B.S. in Computer Engineering from K-State in 2003. He then went to work for Garmin in the aviation software group where he developed the embedded software for their audio panel product line. In 2005, Ben returned to K-State to pursue a Master's degree with research areas in networking and machine learning. In 2007, Ben received his Master's in Electrical Engineering under the advisement of Dr. Caterina Scoglio. Since then, he has worked in the Embedded Systems Engineering group at Sandia National Labs.
Congratulations to Yunzhao Li for his accepted paper in NOMS IEEE/IFIP 2010 Conference! Great job Yunzhao!
