ExptsSecurity Project Status Report
Period: GEC12 (Nov) 2011
I. Major accomplishments
A. Milestones achieved
We delivered the report as stated in the Milestone ExptsSec:
S3.d in September 2011. We also presented in GEC12 as part of
the project highlights in software track according to the Y3
Milestone(a). The report and the presentation summarized the
experiments to explore vulnerabilities of ProtoGENI and the
related suggestions. According to Y3 Milestone(a), the GEC12
presentation (see the attached GEC12 presentation) includes the
findings and suggestions that summarize our Y2 project
activities. In addition, we presented a demo in GEC12 that
shows ARP related security issue with ProtoGENI.

(3) Dawei Li, Xiaoyan Hong, "ARP security in ProtoGENI", The
demo will show ARP attacks and its harm to ProtoGENI (on
reserved nodes), and show potential defenses.
II. Description of work performed during last quarter
A. Activities and findings
Major activities are the experiments in the following areas:
vulnerabilities in different layers of the GENI/ProtoGENI
security model, analysis on authentication and authorization,
DOS attacks. Our findings are made as deliverables through a
report, a presentation at GEC12 and a demo at GEC12.
We participated in GEC12 in Nov 2011. We presented a summary of
Y2 findings and suggestions and discussed our work with
ProtoGENI team and Dr Vicraj Thomas, and obtained great
feedback from them. We present a demo. We also attended related
tracks and sessions.

D. Outreach activities
We introduced GENI/ProtoGENI and our project to an undergraduate group, who receive NSF scholarship through SSTEM program, in their regular meeting. We also use ProtoGENI in a course project of a graduate course in the Fall 2011.
E. Collaborations
We participated in Cluter C conference-calls.
