A Mathematical and Data-Driven Approach to Intrusion Detection for High-Performance Computing

This project is looking at a mathematical and data-based approach to protecting the major HPC resources of DOE. It seeks to extend the state of the art in intrusion detection by developing new mathematical-statistical techniques for the problem of intrusion detection, and to handle the difficult practical problem of safely "sanitizing" HPC system activity data for use by other researchers and other HPC sites without compromising user privacy and security.
