Topic : Detecting Computer Network Attacks by Signatures and Fast Content Analysis

Research

Aim: With technological advancement, today, many computer network attacks can be detected beforehand. While many techniques are utilized for detecting these attacks, the use of signatures and fast content analysis are the most popular ones. This research will explore these techniques in detail and help understand how they can detect a computer network attack and prevent it. The research will present different ways these techniques are utilised to detect an attack and help build powerful and safe computer networks. The research will then conclude how helpful these two techniques are and whether businesses should implement them.Content (maximum of 6 sides of A4)

1. Research Aim (max one paragraph)
Provide the overall aim of your research in one or two sentences. Outline what you research you want to carry out and why. You may also have a research question and/or hypothesis to support this aim.

2. Background and Literature Review (1-2 sides of A4)
Provide a brief description of the background to your research project.

Draw on the literature to discuss what research has been undertaken by others, what is the current state of research and innovation in this area.

State and justify why your research is required and how it fits within the wider body of knowledge.

3. Scope, Objectives, Approach and Project Plan (2-3 sides of A4)

Outline and justify the scope of your project - what you intend to do, what is included and what is not included and why

Provide around 6-8 objectives that will enable you to reach your research aim. Each objective should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely). For each objective, outline the tasks needed to achieve that objective, the deliverable that will be produced to demonstrate you've met that objective.

Describe and justify your proposed research approach for your project. Outline briefly what research techniques and resources will you need to use as part of this.

Develop a project plan over one semester (full-time students) or one year (part-time distance learning students) that shows each objective and its associated tasks and deliverables and the timeframes for each.

4. Ethics, Legal, Social, Security and Professional Issues (max 1 side of A4)

Use this section to consider, define and discuss each of the following areas for your project: (i) ethical, (ii) legal, (iii) social, (iv) security and (v) professional issues. Even if you think one or more of these areas are not applicable to your project, you need to justify why this is the case.

5. References (max 1 side of A4)

Use a recognised standard such as Harvard or numeric. All references cited in the main body of the report should be listed here. There is no ideal number of references recommended but a guide might be no less than 10 - 15 sources should be used.
