PhD Theses and Internships

HDR defended in 2006

1. Thierry Turletti defended his accreditation to supervise research (HDR) on January 2006 [5] .

PhD defended in 2006

1. Zainab Khallouf has defended her PhD in March 2006. She studied the risks taken by a network operator that decides to deploy a multicast routing service. After a prioritization of the threats, she proposed a easy to deploy solution based on intelligent filtering of IGMP/MLD messages to mitigate some of the most easy to launch attack yet extremely efficient [1] .

2. Hahnsang Kim has defended his PhD in April 2006. He worked on ``Agile authentication architecture for cross-domain mobility'' [2] .

3. Abdel Basset Trad has defended his PhD in June 2006. His supervisor was Hossam Afifi. He worked on ``Large Scale VoIP Deployment over Heterogeneous Environments'' [4] .

4. Mohammad Malli has defended his PhD in September 2006. He proposed a new notion of proximity for resource localization and scalable solutions to implement it. This new notion takes into account application requirements instead of simple metrics as the delay or the number of hops [3] .
