1 Forrest, Jacob Alexander (Jake) Jake jaforres@sfu.ca How to avoid Man-in-the-middle attacks  
Perdija, Boris Boris bperdija@sfu.ca Cloud Security  
Botnet Networks  
           
2 Lin, Zehui (Jeffrey) Jeffrey zla167@sfu.ca Analysis of LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) using ns-3 simulator  
Schellenberg, Bradley James (Bradley) Bradley bjschell@sfu.ca    
   
           
3 Makita, Riku Riku rmakita@sfu.ca Analysis of smart home device bandwidth/usage (Amazon Echo, Google Nest, Ring Doorbell Camera, Etc)  
Singh, Alon Alon alons@sfu.ca How GPS still pings location without service  
How cloud security is protected using TLS and HTTP  
           
4 Ramazani, Groire (Glorie) Glorie gra16@sfu.ca Collect and analyze ns-3 simulation data and real-world data for packet drop rate and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) to characterize a LoRa Module/IC behaviour on multiple ranges and environments - this would allow highly accurate simulations for products that use this specific LoRa Module/IC.  
Solis Sanchez, Miller Andres (Miller) Solis, Miller msolissa@sfu.ca WiFi mesh network: Analysis of Wifi Peer 2 Peer networks (WiFi Direct). The project will include sending a reasonably large file at fixed packet sizes at varying distances. Parameters to be monitored will include packet loss on varying distances.  
Analyzing the measurement of quality of experience (QoE) for Youtube at 1080, 4K and 8K on a WiFi connection at SFU. With 4K becoming the norm this analysis will aim to analyze the QoE of steaming a video in 1080, 4K and 8K using the SFU WiFi leading to measure the quality of the WiFi at SFU  
           
5 Kaur, Ramanpreet Ramanpreet rka66@sfu.ca Performance of UDP and TCP over 5G network  
Rosenauer, Christopher Christopher crosenau@sfu.ca    
   
           
6 Bozic, Nikolas Ivan (Nikolas) Nikolas nbozic@sfu.ca How safe is VPN against malicious attacks?  
Tong, Jacob Jacob jta123@sfu.ca Enterprise network (SFU) firewalls vs home network firewalls.  
Analyzing load balancing techniques against DDoS attacks.  
Evaluation of priorities in Peer-to-Peer Networks.  
           
7 Ang, Ansley Ansley ansleya@sfu.ca Local positioning system Using Wi-Fi Latency  
Flores, Diego Axel Miguel (Diego) Diego daflores@sfu.ca Investigating algorithms to detect emergencies for improving bandwidth for first responders and people in need.  
Investigating spam detection algorithms in telephone, email, or VoIP networks  
           
8 Liang, Minghui Minghui mla274@sfu.ca Performance analysis of peer to peer blockchain networks  
Sheppard, Gregory James (Greg) Greg gjsheppa@sfu.ca Performance analysis of video streaming on 5G networks   
Vanloo, Jaydon Gregory (Jaydon) Jaydon jvanloo@sfu.ca Investigating security protocols of the blockchain
