David Tipper

Professor

David Tipper, professor of the Telecommunications and Networking program, is a Principal Investigator for a recently-awarded Army Research Office’s Multi-University Research Initiative.  Professors Krishnamurthy and Tipper are collaborating on how to construct robust and secure mobile ad hoc networks. The project, "ARSENAL: A cross layer ARchitecture for SEcure resilieNt  tacticAL mobile ad hoc networks,” is a joint effort of 12 professors at 7 institutions: University of California, Davis; University of California, Santa Cruz; University of California, Riverside; Brigham Young University; University of Utah; University of Pittsburgh; and the Pennsylvania State University. The Army Research Office funded this innovative project for a five-year period at $6.25 million. The goal of this project is to develop a cross layer architecture that provides comprehensive security and resilience for mobile ad hoc networks. The resulting architecture will be able to adaptively provide the appropriate trade-offs between performance, security, and fault-resilience.
