Abstract Internet Security and Cluster Architecture for Federated E-Commerce Kai Hwang Professor and Director Internet and Cluster Computing Laboratory, University of Southern California
In this talk, Dr. Hwang presents on-going research projects on Internet computing and E-commerce at the University of Southern California (USC). In particular, he introduces a scalable security and reliability (SSR) architecture for use in the next-generation of E-business enterprises. Unique SSR features provide tight security protection, intrusion countermeasures, and automatic recovery from malicious attacks. The research goal is to elevate federated E-business at B2B and B2G levels to a much higher security level, far beyond what can be protected by today's firewall architecture. The work appeals especially to I/O-centric, Internet-based E-commerce and matacomputing grid applications. In particular, Dr. Hwang will describe a distributed RAID-x architecture for distributed database operations in a cluster environment. The RAID-x exploits full I/O bandwidth and protects the cluster platform from all single disk failures. The performance of RAID-x was experimentally proven superior to RAID-1, RAID-5, and NFS in the Trojans Linux cluster built at USC. This architecture greatly enhances the security, reliability, and availability of scalable web server clusters.

In this talk, Dr. Hwang presents on-going research projects on Internet computing and E-commerce at the University of Southern California (USC). In particular, he introduces a scalable security and reliability (SSR) architecture for use in the next-generation of E-business enterprises. Unique SSR features provide tight security protection, intrusion countermeasures, and automatic recovery from malicious attacks. The research goal is to elevate federated E-business at B2B and B2G levels to a much higher security level, far beyond what can be protected by today's firewall architecture. The work appeals especially to I/O-centric, Internet-based E-commerce and matacomputing grid applications. In particular, Dr. Hwang will describe a distributed RAID-x architecture for distributed database operations in a cluster environment. The RAID-x exploits full I/O bandwidth and protects the cluster platform from all single disk failures. The performance of RAID-x was experimentally proven superior to RAID-1, RAID-5, and NFS in the Trojans Linux cluster built at USC. This architecture greatly enhances the security, reliability, and availability of scalable web server clusters.
