POSTER: A Hypothesis Testing Framework for Network Security

PRESENTER: Dong Jin, Illinois Institute of Technology

ABSTRACT:
This project focuses on develop analysis methodologies needed to support scientific reasoning about the security of networks, with a focus on information and data flow security. The core of this vision is Network Hypothesis Testing Methodology (NetHTM), a set of techniques for performing and integrating security analyses applied at different network layers to pose and rigorously answer quantitative hypotheses about the end-to-end security of a network.
