Profs. Starobinski, Egele, and Kulis are Spring 2020 Research Incubation Awardees<\/h3>\n

The Hariri Institute for Computing announced their 2020 Spring Research Incubation Awards to faculty who have the potential to define new areas of research; three CISE faculty affiliates are authors or co-authors of these incubation projects.<\/p>\n

CISE faculty affiliate Prof.\u00a0<\/span>David Starobinski<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>is the PI of the\u00a0<\/span>Automated Threat Modeling for Connected Vehicles<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>project, which will investigate challenges surrounding compromised vehicles that may send forged safety messages. This can potentially harm other road participants who are in the vicinity of the vehicle. In order to combat this problem, Starobinski\u2019s team will explore and expand the use of open-source threat modeling methods to detect dangers in the vehicular environment.<\/p>\n

CISE faculty affiliate Assistant Prof.\u00a0<\/span>Manuel Egele<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>is the PI of the\u00a0<\/span>reFuzz: Reusing Fuzzing Results to Improve Security Assessments<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>project. As the cyber-security of products has been a growing concern for manufacturers, various security assessment and analysis tools have been developed. Premiere among them is fuzzing, a repeated invocation of a Program Under Test (PUT) on random inputs to elicit erroneous program behavior. Egele is working toward fuzzers that will work with leverage security knowledge of previous fuzzing experiments, and will specifically aim to have fuzzers assess newly added codes or modified functionality in a PUT rather than codes that already exist.<\/p>\n
