1. Cryptography - Identity-Based Encryption

An Identity Base Encryption (IBE) scheme is a public-key cryptosystem where any string is a valid public key.  Instead of storing huge databases of public keys, IBE system derives these public keys from e-mail addresses etc.

2. Biometrics - Fingerprint

Application of fingerprint technology for time and attendance solution.  Such solutions will effectively resolve proxy entry problems common to other monitoring systems such as swipe cards.

3. Intrusion Detection - Storage

Storage intrusion detection focuses on creating another layer of defense in the overall defense-in-depth security architecture.  This will fill the gap that traditional network-based and host-based intrusion detection system cannot fulfill.

4. Penetration Testing - Object-based Storage Device

Object-based Storage Device (OSD) is an emerging technology that will change the way storage devices work.  Tools and know-how to perform penetration testing will ensure a successful audit of IT systems that contain such devices.

5. Data Recovery - RAID Arrays recovery

Although there are RAID standards, different RAID vendors have different implementations within these standards – the order in which blocks and parity bits are written, what order the disks were in, the block size in use, the parity algorithm used, and so on.  The focus is to successfully reconstruct data from an unknown group of hard disks.
