Project Grant 2217886

The University of Memphis received a two-year, $599,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program to make available continuous, distributed, and multimode network traffic datasets currently being collected at three research and education networks. The datasets are well-suited for cybersecurity research, anomaly detection, evaluation, and classification tasks such as detecting distributed denial-of-service and other network attacks, route hijacking, and encrypted application traffic. The project will provide both anonymized and non-anonymized data through its existing infrastructure. The datasets will benefit researchers in cybersecurity as well as the broader networking community working in areas such as routing, censorship, traffic correlation, characterization and engineering, machine learning, privacy, and others.
