   个人窃以为宁教授，在科研之余，可以略微做点健身活动，形象会更加俊朗一些。。。:)

   感觉宁教授有点像来自高丽国的学者气质和风范。。。。。。

   [...] 另外, 从发表paper的大学来看,CMU以6篇雄踞榜首,Berkey 和 维也纳技术大学 3篇紧随其后,Standford和NCSU各两篇.要注意,NCSU的2篇paper 第一作者均为从国内赴美的博士生,老板也为华人.分别为弯曲介绍过的江旭贤和宁鹏. 看来NCSU的安全方面已经被老中给保持了. 从系里面的主页可以看到,江旭贤教授和宁鹏教授09年斩获了不少项目,看来腰包是大大的鼓阿. [...]

   Locking Down Cloud Computing
   Source – Results: Research and Graduate Studies at North Carolina State University

   Volume X, Number 1, Spring 2010

   Wireless sensor networks increase flexibility in military and industrial settings, but they also raise the potential for nefarious elements to wreak havoc. Even Dr. Peng Ning, a good-natured associate professor of computer science at NC State not given to paranoia, sees threats everywhere. “Someone could pick up a sensor and reprogram it to send false signals. Terrorists could use a powerful computer to overwhelm a network of sensors,” he says. “Network security is critical.”

   Wireless sensors are deployed by the military for battlefield surveillance and by a growing number of industries to monitor machinery vibration, fluid flow, and other systems. The minicomputers are smaller than a tin of Altoids, run on batteries, and use radio transceivers. When they’re deployed throughout a factory or military front, they relay messages to and from their closest neighbors, with one end of the chain communicating with a central computer. “The sensors notify people when something in the manufacturing environment has changed, so they can repair it quickly,” Ning says. “The sensors could save lives by keeping troops aware of enemy activities.”

   But here’s the rub: The sensors’ small size and limited memory make them easy targets for terrorists and hackers, Ning says, so his research team has developed a suite of security algorithms and open-source software packages. Although these packages use advanced cryptography to secure a network and provide services securely across it, they include a minimal amount of code to avoid taxing the sensors’ capacity. For example, Ning developed a message-specific puzzle, where certain pieces of data create a pattern, to ensure that only the network operator can program the sensors.

   To expand beyond sensor networks, NC State launched the Secure Open Systems Initiative (SOSI) in 2008 to find ways to secure open-source software and computer systems against malicious attacks. Gathering various computer-security efforts under one umbrella is boosting collaboration and attracting more federal funding for projects, says Ning, who is SOSI’s technical director. Industry collaborators like Red Hat, IBM, and Cisco Systems are attracted by the opportunity to test the security tools SOSI develops.

   The initial focus is on virtual cloud computing systems, where data residing on remote servers could be vulnerable to attacks from other users or the system itself. Ning and Drs. Xuxian Jiang and Mladen Vouk recently won a $3 million National Science Foundation grant to develop security solutions for next-generation computing clouds. “Wireless sensor networks are just a small piece,” Ning says. “We hope our work will make all open systems safe for users.”
