Bilateral Grants with Industry

• Amossys: $«$ Evaluation of intrusion detection mechanisms $»$

  The PhD of Georges Bossert is done in the context of a Cifre contract with the SME Amossys (http://www.amossys.fr/ ).

• Orange Labs: $«$ Data persistence and consistency in ISP infrastructures $»$

  Pierre Obame is doing his PhD thesis in the context of this cooperation with Orange Labs at Rennes. The theme of this project is to propose a distributed storage system dedicated to users who access Internet via a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology. This system aims at guaranteeing data availability, persistency, and low access latency by fully exploiting millions of home gateways and the hundreds of Points of Presence (POP) of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) infrastructure.

• DGA-MI: $«$ Security events visualization $»$

  The PhD of Christopher Humphries is done in the context of a cooperation with DGA-MI. Due to the generalization of logging systems, security analysts are now overwhelmed by data when they want to obtain more informations. Manual inspection is clearly not possible anymore, and automated systems such as correlators are showing their limits. Visualization is a promising field. Visualization allows to build concise and often aesthetic representations of systems and events. In this project, we aim at proposing ways to evaluate current visualization solutions and to propose new ones dedicated to security events analysis, for instance for forensic purposes.

• DGA-MI: $«$ Alerts Correlation Taking the Context Into Account$»$

  The PhD of Erwan Godefroy is done in the context of a cooperation with DGA-MI. This PhD just started in November 2012.
