?Stevens is recognized by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research. Supporting this designation is the Center for the Advancement of Secure Systems and Information Assurance, which fosters multi-disciplinary collaboration and acts as a catalyst for research, education, and entrepreneurship in information assurance and cyber security. The NSA designation has established Stevens as a major research center in Cyber security, it and attracts significant funding for research initiatives, capacity-building, and instructional program development. Research in Focus Security and Usability for a New World. Dr. Sven Dietrich researches computer and network security, anonymity, cryptographic protocols, and cryptography. His previous work has included a formal analysis of the secure sockets layer protocol, intrusion detection, analysis of distributed denial-of-service tools, and the security of IP communications in space. His publications include the book Internet Denial of Service: Attack and Defense Mechanisms (Prentice Hall, 2004), as well as recent articles on botnets. His involvement with CASSIA has been integral in Stevens attaining its NSA designations. As one of the pioneers in computer and network security, Dr. Dietrich observed and analyzed the first distributed denial-of-service attacks against the University of Minnesota while working as a senior security architect at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Antonio Nicolosi's research includes identity and authentication for user-centric environments, security and privacy in collaborative mobile computing, lattices and cryptography and P2PCast. Dr. Nicolosi has developed a prototype system for elections and voting by small and medium-sized constituencies, like the members of a professional society or the Faculty of a School or University. The system, called PIVot (Practical Internet Voting), leverages existing Internet technology, and attains voter anonymity guarantees comparable to the paper-based mail-in ballot system, while additionally providing each individual voter with evidence of accurate tallying. Professional and Academic Opportunities: cyber security is a high-growth field currently experiencing a demand far greater than the supply of trained professionals available. The M.S. in cyber security has been designed specifically to train students for these high-demand careers protecting our complex information infrastructures, meeting both the needs of graduates as well as those in government and industry. The White House has reported that, in the coming years, as many as 30,000 new cyber security professionals are needed by the United States government alone. A complementary curriculum in both computational technologies and security administration is offered to produce competent graduates able to navigate a highly technical and fast-paced field.
