The Lab:
The Network Security
Lab [NSL] at Columbia
University's Computer
Science Department is dedicated to performing cutting-edge research
in critical areas of network and systems security. This research includes
new methods for efficient encryption, system and network reliability,
autonomic security, reactive security systems, automated patching, host-based intrusion prevention, applications of peer-to-peer networks, security and availability policy, and network intrusion detection and
anomaly analysis.
The Facility:
The Lab is located in the CRF section of the Computer Science Building
and contains 18 rack-mounted Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers, six workstations,
several Cisco routers and a Cisco Catalyst 6500, along with a
PowerEdge 4600 with 1 TB of storage. Here is a postscript
and a JPEG floor plan sketch of the lab.
Student Work:
The NSL is looking for highly qualified candidates to assist in the implementation of various systems projects.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in receiving project credit, improving their skills, exploring a specialized research
topic, or working for the NSL should browse the technology page for a list of current and future projects.
