Central Concerns and Questions
The major concern of our research is to specify the security requirements for certain applications, design, build, and implement information systems that satisfy the specified security requirements, and assure that the systems meet their requirements in actual operations .
Emerging Ideas and Initiatives
In the applications of public key infrastructure, we prove that a certificate authority should adopt different strategies to release certificate revocation information for different types of certificates so as to minimise its operational cost.
To protect individuals' privacy in many applications, ranging from census data release through statistical database management to data warehousing, we provide exact solutions on how to efficiently derive the most accurate information about individuals from the aggregated information that is released or published.
To protect valuable data (e.g., parametric specifications, surveys, and life sciences data) against pirated copies, we design a variety of data watermarking techniques, including robust watermark, fragile watermark, public watermark, and collusion resistant fingerprint for data distribution or publication applications.
