Synopsis

What is security? What is the measurement of security? Can security be proved? Can security be validated by programme/machine? Dr. Feng Bao will discuss these issues based on the research on attacks from I2R's security group. He will also talk about 6 lessons they learned from their efforts of over 60 successful attacks, which could be viewed as the general guidlines in the design of security systems.
