Hello everyone, sorry for wasting your bandwidth
You couldn't be any worse than than the kiddies...
I'm currently trying to find an interesting topic in computer networking security for my master degree thesis, I've read a lot of jurnal that related with computer networking and security. All journal seem to advanced for me, sometimes the journal has mathematical formula that I don't understand what is the point for. Maybe someone here willing to help me? an idea? or another journal website?
I recently finished up an MS thesis in security. When I was trying to narrow down a topic, I was told that the final paper should have at least one *original* idea. Generally this idea is something somewhat mathematical, and something you can apply to the problem at hand. It may also be an original application of established mathematical principles to a problem of interest. Some of the suggestions of other posters are highly specialized to a here-today-gone-tomorrow topic... if you focus on one of those, you'll have a much harder time coming up with a good original idea that your advisors will be happy with. My advice is to try and find a big problem in security that is long from being solved, and try to bite off a small piece of it. Find out what others have done to try and solve the problem, figure out why those approaches are insufficient due to complexity/cost/etc, and try to improve on it with a novel technique. good luck, tim _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
