What about the human factor and how it can cause technical mistakes or
disclosures?   Sideline.... the management factor how security is
sometime less then what it should be do to user/management
inconvenience.

Subject: [SECURITY] thesis

Hello,

I need a matter for my doctor's thesis :) could you tell me your
opinions about some domains of possible work? I am interested and to
some degree specialised in low level network security issues
(protocols vulerabilities). I found very interesting the domain of
network decoy applications (honeypots, honeynets, tarpits) but I am
still checking if it could be accepted as a thesis subject (it seems
to be studied and developed well but I still have some ideas). I was
also wondering if there are some "white spaces" in the security of
Internet2 - I know very well that this great project is developed on
many fields by great specialists but I couldn't find out what are
the results of security surveys from the website of the project. I
will be greatfull for some opinions.

regards

Sebastian
