4. Adaptable Real-time Distributed Object Management for Command and Control Systems,Proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Autonomous De-centralized Systems(ISADS) Conference, March 1999, Tokyo, Japan (co-authors: J. Maurer, R. Ginis, R. Freedman,M. Squadrito, S. Wohlever). Lead AuthorMy Contribution: This is a MITRE Team effort. The principal members of the design teamincluded John Maurer (Principal Investigator), Peter Krupp, and myself. The others carried out theimplementation. I wrote the entire paper from the technical reports.5. Real-time CORBA, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, October 2000 (coauthors:V. Fay-Wolfe, L. DiPippo, G. Cooper, R. Johnston, P. Kortmann). Co-AuthorMy Contribution: I conceived the idea of real-time CORBA in 1994. Since then MITRE,University of Rhode Island and the Navy carried out the design together with the OMG standardsteam. The paper was a team effort. Much of the writing was carried out by the University of RI..6. Information Survivability for Real-time Command and Control Systems, IEEE Transactions onKnowledge and Data Engineering, January 1999 (co-author: J. Maurer). Lead AuthorMy Contribution: I was the main designer of the system described in this paper and wrote thepaper. John Maurer (the project leader) gave comments on this paper.7. Dependable and Secure TMO Scheme, Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Object-Oriented Real-Time Distributed Computing (ISORC 2006) (co-author: J. Kim). Lead AuthorMy Contribution: I worked on the design of the system with my student Mr. Kim. My studentcarried out the implementation. I wrote the paper from my student’s MS Thesis.17.4 SEMANTIC WEB, WEB SERVICES AND SECURITYI began my research on XML Security in December 1998 when I visited the University of Milan researchgroup to exchange ideas. I initiated a research project with this group led by Prof. Bertino on securingXML documents. Two students worked on the project, one on access control and authentic publication ofXML documents and the other on privacy and trust for XML documents. Subsequently when I joined NSFin October 2001, I continued with my research on securing the secure semantic web by exploring alllayers of the semantic web technology stack. That same month I participated in an NSF-EU workshop atSophia Antipolis and gave a presentation on securing the semantic web technologies. This was the firstsuch presentation on the topic. A major part of my current research is in this area.XML Security: Paper #1 (IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering) describes myresearch with the University of Milan group on XML security. We developed an approach for controllingaccess to XML documents as well as to securely publish XML documents at the third party site. Wefocused on authenticity and completeness of the query responses. This approach has been recommendedfor secure data outsourcing. Paper #2 (ACM Transactions on Information and Systems Security) describesprivacy problems that could occur due to the specification of trust policies. In particular, we developed asecurity model, privacy-enhanced trust management algorithms and a proof of concept prototype of thealgorithms.RDF Security and Inference Control: Paper #3 (Computer Standards and Interface Journal) describesthe various security standards for semantic web. It describes XML security, RDF security and security forontologies. Then I started focusing on securing RDF. My work on RDF security was novel at that timeand I collaborated with professors at the University of Insubria and together we developed securityarchitecture for RDF documents. This research was published in Paper #4 (DEXA conference workshop).Paper #5 (IFIPTM) continues with RDF security. In this paper, together with students I jointly supervisedwith another professor at The University of Texas at Dallas, instead of explicitly coming up with accesscontrol for RDF documents, we use the Reification principle already in RDF to control access to variousparts of the document. For example, we can make reification statements of an RDF document such as“John has access to the RDF document”. This way we can use the reasoning capabilities in RDF tomanage security. Paper #6 (IFIP Data Security Conference) makes a significant contribution to the106
inference problem. Back in the early 1990s, I designed an inference controller. That database was arelational database and policies were specified as rules in datalog. However, now with semantic web, onecan use Jena for the RDF engine and Pellet as the reasoner. Furthermore, both data and policies can beuniformly represented in RDF. Together with a student and a professor at The University of Texas atDallas, we designed and developed a semantic web-based inference controller. During the past threemonths, we have made considerable enhancements to the design described in Paper #6. In particular, wehave developed a semantic web-based privacy controller for provenance data.Assured Information Sharing: While continuing to conduct research on securing XML, RDF andontologies, I also focused on five application areas to apply secure semantic web technologies. Theseapplications are discussed in the next five papers. In Paper #7, (International Journal of InformationSecurity and Privacy) I utilized semantic web technologies for Assured Information Sharing applications.Together with a student and a professor at The University of Texas at Dallas, we were the first to designand develop an assured information sharing system using XACML-based policies enforced acrossorganizations. This research focused on sharing information while at the same time ensuring thatappropriate policies are enforced.Secure Semantic Geospatial Data Management: I also expanded into the geospatial domain and startedfocusing on developing a secure geospatial semantic web with students and a professor at The Universityof Texas at Dallas. One major obstacle back in 2005 was that there were no standards for geospatialsemantic web. Therefore, we designed and developed GRDF (geospatial RDF) and Secure GRDF. Thiswas a significant contribution. We presented this research in the IEEE International Conference on DataEngineering workshop and we were then invited to submit a paper to the special issue of ComputerStandards and Interface Journal. Our results are published in Paper #8 (Computer Standards andInterface).Secure Semantic Social Networks: Another significant contribution I have made is applying securesemantic web technologies for the security and privacy of social networks. Together with a colleague andstudent at The University of Texas at Dallas, as well as with colleagues at the University of Insubria, wedeveloped both an access control model and privacy model for social networks, represented the policies inRDF and OWL and then used RDF and OWL data managers and reasoners to reason about the policies.This work was published in Paper #9 (ACM SACMAT). It was one of the few papers on this topic. Wewere invited for a journal special issue and the journal version will appear in Elsevier’s Computers andSecurity Journal.Secure Web Services: Paper #10 (IEEE International Conference on Web Services) describes myresearch in secure web services which was carried out with a colleague and a student. We noted that muchof the work on secure web services was in access control. Therefore, we focused on other aspects anddeveloped new security models for web services. In particular, we have developed delegation-basedmodels for web services as well as information flow models. We have combined both these models into aunique model. We have also designed and implemented a system that utilizes the models. We were thefirst to introduce such an integrated model into secure web services.Secure Cloud Computing: Paper #11 (International Journal of Information Security and Privacy) is in theemerging area of secure cloud computing. I have designed a framework for secure cloud computing whichconsists of a virtual machine layer, storage layer and data layer. Then I collaborated with colleagues todesign algorithms for each of the layers. We have designed a model for secure query processing forsemantic web data based on principles of query optimization and have subsequently developed algorithmsfor secure query processing in a cloud. We expect to continue to make significant impact in secure clouds.My work on secure semantic web and web services has also appeared in numerous other journals andconferences including IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering; IEEE Transactions onSystems, Man and Cybernetics; and IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing. One area Iam focusing on now is to integrate my research on secure web services with secure semantic web andbuild secure semantic web services. My book on this topic was published in December 2010. Other areasmy team is focusing on are ontology alignment, schema matching and investigating security issues. One of107
