Maybe someone here willing to help me? an idea? or another > journal website? I recently finished up an MS thesis in security. When I was trying to narrow down a topic, I was told that the final paper should have at least one *original* idea. Generally this idea is something somewhat mathematical, and something you can apply to the problem at hand. It may also be an original application of established mathematical principles to a problem of interest. Some of the suggestions of other posters are highly specialized to a here-today-gone-tomorrow topic... if you focus on one of those, you'll have a much harder time coming up with a good original idea that your advisors will be happy with. My advice is to try and find a big problem in security that is long from being solved, and try to bite off a small piece of it. Find out what others have done to try and solve the problem, figure out why those approaches are insufficient due to complexity/cost/etc, and try to improve on it with a novel technique. good luck, tim _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
