End Point Security
This will include operating system, memory, application and data security of PCs, mobile, servers used by individuals from malware. This has very vast scope due to variety and associated vulnerabilities in end point systems used by individuals and all corporate sector include government, transport, medical, travel, entertainment etc. Critical Infrastructure Security: Some online or offline end point systems can be classified as critical infrastructure due to their reliability and availability requirements. These services include banking, cyber connected power grid, control systems of nuclear power plants and critical cyber and communication services used by defence sector.
Internet Security
Early DOS and DDOS detection and prevention to ensure Cyber Security of government and corporate sector of Pakistan. Enhancing Cloud Security and resolving trust issues on Cloud so that Pakistan’s government and private sector can utilize the benefits of cloud computing with no security and privacy concerns. Development of regional’s and Pakistan’s Internet traffic and security archive for security profiling and uncovering the hidden malware and features and properties of Internet traffic. This security archive will globally increase Pakistan’s footprint in security.
Digital Forensics
Whether the computer forensic examiner investigates the evidence in his lab or he works directly at the crime scene, he needs a lot of tools and a well-prepared location to go, through analysis and fully investigate the digital evidence. This prepared location, the Computer Forensics Lab, must be equipped with the all needed tools and hardware to analyze, identify, preserve, recover, and present facts and opinions about the information at hand. The application domain of forensics will cover aspects related to endpoints and Internet systems.
Quantum Technology
As quantum information is an emerging technology and compared to the advanced countries of the world there is negligible research going on in the country. We aim to not only promote knowledge, research and expertise in this area but also provide security in communication, specifically to government and private sector organizations and generally to all the citizens of the country. As a result of this lab it will become possible for the country to utilize the latest quantum key distribution technology at affordable cost by manufacturing it indigenously. Secure and sustainable communication infrastructure is one of the main national security needs, as it will enhance the security and reliability of national communication infrastructure.
